September 5, 200817 yr Hey quick question: How do you guys eat cold Cereal with milk since we are not suppose to drink and eat at the same time. I am just curious how much milk you guys add. Thanks Chris:cool2:
September 5, 200817 yr I'm only a day out of surgery, so I don't have any experience, but at the last support meeting I attended, the doctor said use just enough milk to moisten the cereal. That doesn't sound too appetizing to me.
September 5, 200817 yr I like less milk in my cereal when I eat I prefer the crunch of it :tongue2: But yes I eat cereal. I can't eat much but probably 1/4 cup -1/2 cup cereal and less than 1/2 cup milk
September 5, 200817 yr I never put milk on my cereal - it's not a band thing; I've done it since childhood. At the risk of hearing everyone say EWWW, Yuck, I put one or two tablespoons of fruit yogurt on top. So, it moistens it, but still leaves some crunch, less sogginess but I still get the calcium and fruit. YUMMMM!

YUMMMM! not ewww...i do the same as well; i very rarely eat yogurt w/out some granola or crunch going on.
September 5, 200817 yr not ewww...i do the same as well; i very rarely eat yogurt w/out some granola or crunch going on. Sounds good to me because I do something similar... Use greek yogurt on my cereal since it has a ton of Protein for yogurt and use honey to sweeten the cereal and yogurt.
September 5, 200817 yr Well, I've never seen dry cereal dry as a meal... though that was a bad-habit snack food. I had "south Beach" cereal yesterday for the first time. Put some milk, but not as much as I used to. Made a very filling Breakfast.

Use greek yogurt on my cereal since it has a ton of Protein for yogurt and use honey to sweeten the cereal and yogurt. funny you say that; i found "oikos" brand of greek yogurt (5oz cups) yesterday that already have honey (120calories/13g protein). i had some this AM w/some bare naked granola.....very yummy!!
September 11, 200817 yr Lucky dogs! I can't eat cereal since banding. gets stuck in my throat every time!
October 30, 200817 yr I do 1 cup cereal with 1/2 cup skim milk. When done eating if there is milk left I pour it out, I don't drink it. I have never drank the milk in my cereal, it was always a turn off for me so not drinking it with the band is no difference.
October 31, 200817 yr I don't make a habit of eating cereal regularly but when I do it's 1/2 C cereal & 1/4 C milk :smile2:
October 31, 200817 yr I do 1 cup cereal and 1 cup milk. I found the new Kashi vive cereal and I love it! It keeps me full for such a long time and its super yummy.
October 31, 200817 yr I dont like a lot of milk on my cereal anyway, usually I do the 1/2 cup cereal 1/4 cup milk ratio. I like the crunch too. And most of the time when I eat cereal, its muesli, so I might have yogurt instead of milk.
