I’m on soft phase. What are your favorite cereals ?

Which cereals are in your plan during the soft phase? Cream of wheat/rice?

I did not eat any concentrated grain carbs until maintenance. No cereal for 7 months, and then very cautiously. Now I cook up whole grains (steel cut oats, quinoa, teff, amaranth, buckwheat, and millet.). I add some slivered almonds, raisins and dried gogi berries, and also some cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. 1/2 cup of this cooked cereal, with a TB of ground flaxseed , along with 1/2 cup of soy milk gives me plenty of protein and is filling enough to last until lunch. It also starts my day with a good boost of anti-oxidants.

NO way do not even try it = Carbs heavy and processed food! Plus the Dairy is going to wreck you! I would eat a little oatmeal healthy steel oats but a box of frosty flakes NO way

grains can be pretty rough on a healing stomach. Something like Cream of Wheat would be OK on it - unless your clinic wants you following an ultra-low carb diet (in which case, any cereal is going to have too many carbs)

I ate muesli (with bits of fruit and nut) from 4 weeks out and I've never had a problem.

be careful what you choose. just because we can have it doesnt mean we should.. high carb whether be in cereal or anything else is a huge derailment.

You could do oatmeal or cream of wheat... but they overfill me way too fast! I say don't do any cereals! Eating protein first should be your goal anyway.

It all depends on what your surgical/dietary team told you to do. Medical opinions differ considerably. Some doctors tell you to eat protein and very little else...my team told me to eat a healthy balanced diet. There's more than one way to make the surgery work.

My team suggests cheerios soaked in skim milk during the soft phase, then they say to drink the milk afterwards as you would other fluids.
