Soup ? Cereal?

maybe this is silly. I know u can't drink before or after meals for 30 minutes. Does this mean cereal and soup are out of my diet forever? Just cirious

What surgery are you having?  That rule is predominantly for RNY, although the VSG and DSers sip and not gulp while eating, for liquid fills up the stomach leaving little room for food.

Cereal is relatively useless, however I add it to yogurt for some texture once in a while.

And I spelled curious wrong. Go me

I eat soup as a two part meal. Either I drink the liquid then eat the solids or just pick out the solids and ignore the liquid. I don't eat cereal at all. It's very little protein and the simple carbs are a runaway train to reactive hypoglycemia for me.

Many (most?) RNYers generally avoid cereal because of the eating and drinking aspect AND because even high protein cereals at also high in carbs (plus the carbs from milk). I personally have some every now and then, but I often don't feel very good afterward.

Cream soups don't present a problem, of course. I love vegetable soup and, like most people, I drink the broth first and then eat the veggies and meat.  I don't eat any soup with noodles or rice, though (just those with barley).

Cereal kills me. I avoid it like the plaque. I use to love Cheerios and Raisin bran. Never again ..

Before RNY I loved, loved, loved soggy Raisin Bran.  I never eat cereal now.  

OMG me too - the squishy soggy flakes, the sweet chewy raisins... never touch the stuff now. lol
