here is a link to some more cereal suggestions - I just asked the same question last week (LOL):  http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/a,messageboard/action ,replies/board_id,4856/cat_id,4456/topic_id,3636667/page,1/# 28753885 I did pick up Special K-Cinnamon Pecan & can tell you that it really didnt agree with me (I think i might have dumped).  I added a very small amt of skim milk & was in the bathroom for about 3 hrs later (and I only ate about 1/2 cup) I'm at 4 mths post-op, and think it might have just been too soon

If I eat cereal in the morning, I tend to get very sleepy.  Comatose-like sleepy.  Can't keep my eyes open.  Do you like yogurt?  Especially at this time of year when there are so many great berries and fruits, I have yogurt with fresh fruit for breakfast.  I generally will sprinkle on a little bit of grape-nuts for crunch, and/or some raw almonds.  That way, you get a little crunchy cereal, but not so much that it makes you sleepy.

For me - NO. Most cereals have too high of a carbohydrate count to bother, and unless I can hold myself to a 1/4 cup serving, it's not going to happen. If I even think about adding dairy milk - forget it - I might as well just set up camp around the toilet and then go to bed. Even whole grain cereals like Kashi cause serious reactions - so - I've all but given up on them.  I can have a taste - or a sprinkle - but NEVER, EVER A BOWL or A WHOLE SERVING or with MILK.

I can do either Cheerios or Special K Protein plus....but I don't do them often and I stick to the serving size or less...

I don't eat cereal very often, but when I do, I have Back to Nature Hi-Protein Crunch.  It has 15g of protein.

I am four and a half years out and cereal is still hit or miss with me. If I can eat it, I use Kashi Go Lean, or Special K Protein cereals and Lactaid milk since I developed mild lactose intolerence after my RNY. I have found that the Special K bodes better in my stomach when I get it down. Otherwise, I feel uncomfortable on my off days, so I don't eat cereal that much because it is not worth feeling like that to me.

I do not eat cereal with milk, too close to eating and drinking at the same time for me, plus cereal can be a trigger food for me. I do buy Kay's Natural's Protein cereal and mix it into Greek yogurt.

I'm about a year and 1/2 out.  I enjoy the occasional 1/2 cup serving of Fiber One cereal with skim milk but that's about it.

I eat no sugar added or homemade granola mixed in to greek yogurt.  It is crunchy and creamy!   And HIGH in protein.
