(Former) Cereal junkies unite!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I am starting my 6th week and I have a ton of almond milk left over from my cream of wheat days. The nurses at my doctors office aren't awesome about answering the phone or calling you back. So has anyone tried a little bowl of Cereal yet? I know most cereal is junk but has anyone tried the kashi or Special K cereals with Protein in them?

I tried the Special K Protein and I honestly think a cardboard box would taste better. However my hubby liked it.

I'm not there yet but my nut said at 6 wks I could have Cheerios, rice crispy and or Special K cereals! I've had the Special K in the past and thought it was good.

I do enjoy a bowl of Special K Protein cereal every now and again! I like it with some cinnamon and a packet of sweetnlow on it! Otherwise it has a bland taste.

I tried Cheerios 1/2 cup and it has worked for me. I have them once every two weeks or so so not every day. I tried shredded wheat but did not agree with me.

Much better habits than the overflowing bowl of coco crispies every morning.

Cheerios sound great, I will have to try them soon. I agree about it being a much better habit than the coco crispies overflowing!

I like Special K Protein which was ok, and tried kashi and it was like eating a tree branch.

I like the Special K Protein & some of the kashi flavors. I eat Kashi a few times a week cause it seems to keep me full the longest of any Breakfast type food. For me, I'm mindful of carbs but am not neurotic about them, but only do whole grains. I've lost 80 pounds at 6 months. I also eat one serving of fresh fruit a day, and have a 2nd snack of either cut up fresh tomatoes or a third of a red bell pepper every day, all,of which are carbs. I stick with hi nutrient value carbs, and for me, none of them have been a gateway. Plus, the Kashi, fruit & veggies help with the all important Fiber intake!

That is awesome! I think the way you are losing is a great healthy way. This is how I want to be, because if not then we could get into trouble later if we are terribly anti-carb.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
