Eating Cold Cereal



Recommended Posts

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:

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
