fed up with cooking and eating

I am so fed up with cooking (which I hate) and eating. i had a gastric band two years ago and can barely get anything down that isn't mashed or soup.
I had it loosened but then the weight started piling back on so I had it tightened again.
The only thing I really enjoy eating is cereal.
Can I live on cereal full time? It's all fortified now. Maybe soup as well. I have a soup maker.
I could quite happily live like that, will I die from malnutrician? You can put a lot of different things in soup.

I think you need to ask for a referral to a dietician to make sure you're getting the nutrients you need and ensure that you don't regain the weight. Cereal can have a lot of hidden sugar and salt and very little protein. If you're trying to lose (or not regain) weight then a carb based diet probably isn't the best thing for you.
