Cereal
I know a lot of people have problems with cereal after surgery but I am thinking of trying a little and seeing how it goes. Can anyone recommend a good post-op high protein cereal??

The Hi Low that Nik reviewed on her blog and mentioned today is really good, but it is a bit pricy as she mentioned- if you don't share it with anyone it should last a while though ;)
If you have a local low -carb type store they often carry it I find at least for me.

I waited about 11 months after surgery to have cereal. I could never find a low carb cereal and my Dr. told me "if you start eating carbs you will gain weight." I took it to heart. Once I was about 15 pounds below my goal weight I ate some Grape Nuts. It was really good, but I will not eat it often.
Good Luck!

I am 11 mths post op and eat pretty much anything within reason (small quantities) but cereal hates me. I have tried about a few different kinds on about 3 occassions over the last 6 mths and every time I feel horrible afterwards. i do miss cereal. I wish candy would make me sick

Cereal to me is a no no...I tried it post op since my dr's plan allows it...I was SO excited to try some ff milk and corn chex...and it was GOOD...however once i thought about it it made no sense. Dr says no drinking with meals...well DUH...cereal and milk together?! So i dont do it anymore...plus it wasnt satisfying for me at all. Maybe putting some on yogurt would be ok but not traditional milk and cereal. Plus its a carb...STAY AWAY FROM THEM! I found this out the hard way a few weeks ago ...eating them makes you want MORE of them and then youre in trouble. Luckily i niped mine in the bud early but i wont go there again
