When can I eat cold cereal again?!



Recommended Posts

Special K Protein, Wheaties, Shredded Wheat: I love them so much!!!!

All under 5 grams of sugar per serving, and I won't add extra sugar. Will eat them with super Protein skim milk. But -- are they even allowed at all? Do you have to crush them up?

Who eats cold Cereal, when did you start, and how do you do it?

i have been eating Cereal since about 2 months out.. I did change to Kasha go Lean though. We need Protein more than carbs and it tastes pretty good.. Make sure you measure and only small amounts.. I remeber presurgery I could eat a half box of cereal, it seemed, at a time. I now know what the real serving size looks like and it astonishes me at how much I used to eat.. Measure measure measure :)

It was on my OK list from 2 weeks on, as long as I let it sit and soak and get soft.

My NUT doesn't want me eating cereal with milk. I can eat it dry or in yogurt. Im 6 weeks out, and this afternoon I had a serving of Special K Protein as a snack. It is a nice crunchy snack for me :)

I eat kashi go lean or Special K Protein with skim milk. It is important to always measure though.

Thanks for the replies everyone! My take away is that I shouldn't, but if I do, 1. do it infrequently 2. measure, 3. let it soak a bit first, 4. if it feels bad -- STOP.

I'll keep my Special K Protein around to add as a topping to yogurt or as a dry snack.< /p>

Thanks for the encouragement, and congrats to you all on your amazing stats!!!

I eat cereal, but didn't start till I was over a year out. Sometimes with Breakfast and sometimes as a late night snack.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
