Cheerios???

 Have you tried Frosted Flakes dry? YUMMY....but LOTS of sugar.....I really like Frosted Flakes better.

My cravings have been in spurts...cottage cheese then peanut butter on whole wheat toast, then 1 slice cheese omlets, then mixed nuts, now it's soy trail mix!!   Since surgery I can't do red meat or yogurt.  I used to LOVE yogurt.  Every morning for my mid-morning snack I would have yogurt with bran cereal.  Now it makes me gag  Can't do pasta either which is really hard being an Italian I love that more than yogurt.

I eat plain Cheerios with skim milk for breakfast 5 days a week. And sometimes I eat them for a snack before bed. I eat the plain Cheerios brand because the other brands and flavors have to much sugar in them and I dump very easily. The Cheerios with yogurt sounds great. I've tried yogurt with Grape Nuts cereal and that was good. Can't wait to try it with Cherrios now. I eat a lot more veggies now than I did pre op. Lots of different kinds that I wouldn't touch before. I still don't like mushrooms and tomatos tho, that hasn't changed. ~dori~

  Plain Cheerios is what I picked out.....because I thought the other brands would be way too sugary....... I am gonna try Cheerios and yogurt.......sounds real good.

hey Leticia,  yes i now crave...carrots, go figure, if i had carrot cravings pre op maybe things would have been different LOL, o yea and im craving SPICY things ALLLLLLLLLLL the time, i never liked spicy pre op....weird LOL

Leticia, here is a really yummy snack mix using cheerios.  A friend gave this to me and I make it all the time.  We all love it!

Jessie’s Crispex Mix
