Was told I can do Special K as part of soft foods.

I haven't yet. Started soft foods today and started with oatmeal.

Weeks out, on soft foods, I totally wanted crunch berries, so I let em soak and get soggy and ate every bite....they were delightful. They my reactive hypoglycemia kicked in and I ended up laying on the bathroom floor shaking with a horrible headache, feeling like I was gonna puke,

Sorry that happened to you.

Turns out, I'm a dumper ;P I now know I can steal a bite or two of my son's cereal but no more! Yet another lesson learned the hard way!!!

Wellll, almost 8 weeks out and I tried a small bowl of Protein Cheerios and a little milk... it made me so full and kind of upset my stomach. I think it's safe when you are cleared to try all food.< /p>

After a month from my surgery I started to have Special K high Protein cereal with soy milk. I am 3.5 months out and I have had it maybe a handful of times. I try to just have yogurt and avoid cereal and soy all together. I also don't drink regular milk. No need for it and also our bodies don't break down the sugars in the milk very much. So I stay away from it.

Kay's Natural cereal has 12g of Protein and when you add a half of a cup of milk it comes up to 16g of protein in that meal. They are tasty and so are their Snacks. The snacks have 12g of protein in them per serving.

Vitacost.com has the best price on Kay's Naturals products.

I started eating 1 oz of dry cereal around the 12 week post-op mark. As of now, I can eat 1 oz of cereal with about 4 oz of milk. I love starting my day off this way.

I'm almost 4 months out and I love having my cereal again. The Special K Red Berries hits the spot for me, 1/2 cup of real milk and I'm good to go :-) as long as the cereal gets soft and isn't sweetened it usually sits ok with my tummy. That sweet stuff is a no go :-)

Koshi go lean is good stuff with milk or in yogurt. I quit having it around because I liked it to much.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
