Cold Cereal

Hello Today I am able to start "real" food and not pureed but I'm scared. I dont know why, I just am. I was reading over my papers from my nut yesterday and it says its ok to have cold cereal but it doesn't say what kind. Has anyone tried cold cereal? Before surgery I liked Special Kay and Shreded wheat. What does your nut say about cold cereal?? What kind?? Thanks ladies Kay 450/388/353/175

Kay, My soft food list includes cold cereal softened up some. I have eaten a few times this week for breakfast. I've had Honey Nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams in skim milk. I checked the labels and found that most of the regular cereals are very similar in sugars, calories, carbs, etc. I didn't have a problem with it at all. Good luck!

Hi Kay, I have tried the Special K Plus Protein. It has 10 grams of protein per serving and only 1.5 grams of fat & 3 grams of sugar. It is delicious, I used soy milk instead of regular milk. Carly

Hey Carly I didn't know there was a Special K plus Protein.. Sounds great! Thanks for sharing Kay

Hi Kay I'm allowed to have only corn flakes that have softened in milk at this point. I added a little slpenda and it was so good. Only problem, I overate. Of course, I had the whole bowl and then drank the milk. I had to lie down for a while after. I was only supposed to have 2 tablespoons, I think it was more like 1/2 cup before I added the milk. OOPs!~ Bridget

Hmmmm.... Cheerios and Total are on my list. Since I am was also cleared for normal foods today, I'll join you trying this. If there's an option that's 10g it sounds like a nice light meal option.

I don't know why but my experience watching people eat shredded wheat or raisen brand makes them go to the bathroom REALLY fast, my cuz is 2 yrs out and she says everytime she eats fiber there better be a toilet close by!! I would stick with the Special Kay and CC milk....I dumped off fat free milk the other day..No more for me!! Cindy

Thanks everyone for all the ideas. I am putting cereal on my shopping list right now! Kay

Hi Kay! It's funny you brought this up...I got my WLS for dummies book in today and I was quite surprized to see shredded wheat cereal w/ ff milk on their sample menu of regular foods...I was thinking it would be too stringy...and was a be leary of it...but I guess not! Nice to know we have more options out there... Bren
