I am not a perfect sleever but I made my goal in less than 9 months... I eat cereal almost everyday. (Cheerios, fruity pebbles etc.) lol..... I started at 6 weeks..... with the milk it is plenty soft and mushy.

Dry cereal was considered a mushy food, so weeks 3 and 4. One they suggested was Special K Protein. Saltines and dry toast were also listed on the mushy list.

Hot cereal I could have as soon as I got home from the hospital (it's considered a full liquid in my plan). Crunchy cereal is 8 weeks.

I think it would have been at full food for me. I like to snack on cheerios sometimes but I don't eat them with milk. Cheerios and half a whole wheat english muffin are my only somewhat regular grain choices.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
