Cereals

What cereals are good for our pouches (like not too much sugar) but yet taste good?

 I do best with Ka****he ones that have made me sick or in pain are shredded wheat and Special K for some reason.

Kashi Go Lean is my choice, high fiber, and high protein. I have to "soak" it for a few minutes though. I am also one of those people who would drink the milk out of the bowl when I finished my cereal. Can't do that now in order to follow the no drinking while eating rule. I also try not to get to much milk on the spoon. So, I have mixed the cereal in yogurt and cottage cheese and that is just as good too, especially with a dash of cinnamon!

I eat dry Kay's Natural Protein cereal. You order it on line.

 Cereal kills me - I don't bother at all.

Same for me - never touch the stuff!

Many surgeons recommend against eating cereal at all (even higher protein cereals), at least eaten the traditional way since eating cereal with milk is the same as eating and drinking at the same time.  Most cereals are also pretty high in carbs (even once you take fiber into consideration) for the amount of protein and other nutrition you get.  I occasionally use a very small amount as a crunchy sprinkle on yogurt, though.

Lora, sounds gross but I like it in cottage cheese. Yogurt too but several people said eww to the cottage cheese, lol!

Yeah, you're right... that sounds gross, LOL!  I ate so much cottage cheese the first six months after surgery, though, that most of the time it doesn't sound good even on its own.

I make my own granola so I can control the ingredients and calories. Sprinkle it on yogurt or dip an apple slice in yogurt/pb the dip it in granola. Yum!
