Soup & Cereal--friend or foe

Mixing a liquid with a solide should be a no-no, don't you think? Trying to get a full feeling while adding liquids should be counterproductive. Do you eat soups and cereals? Problems or no?

Cereal and milk together make me slime so that is a no go for me. I can't handle the liquid and solid together like that. However hot soup does work, partly because it hot so it's easier to go down and partly becuse the chunks are soft and mushie. For me I don't really experience hunger anymore so it doesn't matter to me if I eat a mushie meal here or there, as long as I have one fully solid meal a day I don't actually feel hungry.

I eat often granola cereal or shredded wheat with low-fat milk in the mornings. It seems to satisfy me as much as a more solid food does. Of course granola and shredded wheat are excessively dry foods to start with. Adding milk to them just makes them like a regular solid food. Soups, however, do not satisfy me at all unless they are high-fat, like lobster bisque or corn chowder, which I avoid because of the caloric content.

I have cereal for breakfast now and then. Of course, it is several hours after I'm up, but no problems. I eat soup for lunch and try to add some hard protein now and then like a slice of meat or hard cheese.

Teacher, dear. You wil probably experience it. Something gets stuck, and your body does this miraculous adaptation to try to move the offender on through. You product very very thick mucousy saliva.
