I am 4 weeks out. My post op diet plan doesn't mention cereal. When were you allowed it?

Everyone's plan is different but I was cleared for it at four weeks. I got the kashi cereal. I usaully measure out half a cup with nf milk.

Hot cereal is part of my Stage 1 liquid diet.

It's recommended to stay away from High Fiber/Grain cereals

you should be cleared for cearl by the 8 week mark. I dont eat cereal though, too many carbs not enough protein. It fulls me up too fast.

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.
