Most cereals, hot or cold will be high in carbohydrates and made of wheat/contain starch. Very early on, I ate cream of wheat, because I wasn't counting carbs and I needed a few.

At a few months out up to a year out, unless it's something that's on your surgeon's list of foods you should eat, I would (personally) avoid it.

If your surgeon says it's no problem, I would ask him/your NUT for suggestions. All of them are going to be carb heavy. I at least try to look for some Protein and dietary Fiber. Study those labels and COUNT THE CARBS.

I didn't eat cereal or any grain of any kind until I hit my weight loss goal and had been successfully maintaining for months. Cereal is not your friend in weight loss IMO.

I agree. Too many carbohydrates in cereal. And not to mention breaking the "no eating and drinking at the same time" rule with cereal and milk. At 2+ years out, I can count on one hand how many times I've had cereal. And it was only after I'd lost all my weight and was in maintenence.

I eat All Bran Buds mixed in with my yogurt all the time for the Fiber. I also eat old fashion shredded wheat. You know the giant pillow looking thing? I just let it soak up all the milk it can hold. Good carbs are not something to be afraid of, they are necessary!

I eat kashi go lean in my Greek yogurt or with fruit and fairlife milk. Good carbs are necessary.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
