You should try Kashi GoLean Cereal. It's really tasty and has lots of Protein and Fiber. It cured my cereal craving.

Thanks for the suggestion Jen. Not enough Protein in Cheerios to make eating worthwhile:(

You also might want to try UNCLE SAM cereal. It also is high Protein and high fiber.

I Know all dietitians say different things but I was advised not to eat cereal anymore due to it being considered drinking and eating together =\ she said the cereal will swell in my pouch and would take up space that nutritive stuff could be placed.

I was told cereal is OK if 3 grams of sugar or less with just a splash of milk due to the no eating and drinking at the same time. I am eating Special K Protein Plus. 2 grams of sugar and 10 grams of protein in a 3/4 cup serving.

I am 2 months post op today. I still can't eat and I still get bad acid and heart burn

I was told cereal is OK if it's low sugar and high fiber, but I like to drown my cereal in milk so it won't be worth it to me anymore. I never ate cereal that often but I did like it once in a while.

Yep, watch the sugar content. Cereals are notorious for hidden sugar. (Watch artificial sweeteners too as they only feed your sugar cravings.) They are also high carb. Look for multi or whole grain cereals - better carbs. I was allowed rolled oats from early on. I make it with lactose free milk. I eat a milky, though still thickish, bowl every day - good source of Protein. No sweeteners at all except a few blueberries on occasions.
