Well try it and see. If you become hungry very soon after then you know it doesn't work.

Your best bet is probably something a little more substantial in the Cereal department. Cooked whole grain cereal, perhaps.

I eat Kashi GoLean cereal at least 4 days a week with a little low fat milk. I do find with this. It doesn't hold me quite as long as say eggs, but close enough. If I was to mention this to the doctor, I'm sure he would remind me that it would be considered a liquid, but it works fine for me.

I find any liquid/solid food quite difficult to eat - easy to slime on if I'm not careful. Thicker cereal like muesli is better, with a little milk and contrary to how liquids are supposed to wash solids through, I stay full for HOURS. Soup is the same, I have to eat it carefully but it holds me for ages.

I'm a big Cereal eater, so it was one of my first questions to my surgeon. The answer was to pour the milk on for a few seconds to moisten the cereal and then dump it off.

At first I was doing that, but I find I can eat some cereals without moistening at all, i.e. Quaker Oat Squares.

I also enjoy oatmeal (in the winter), which can be "moistened" with brown sugar!! :thumbup:

I've only eaten cold cereal with milk a few times. It didn't bother me in any way, but if I'm going to do cereal, I would rather have cream of wheat or oatmeal. I can cook it to a desired consistancy and then add unflavored Protein Powder to it to boost the Protein. Quaker makes a high protein instant oatmeal that is pretty damn good!! It's called weight control or something. There are two flavors. banana bread and cinnamon. I highly recommend it. I don't get hungry until well past lunchtime.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
