Pre-Surgery Diet Help
OK, so I am on the UNJURY pre-surgical diet. It is ANNOYING me!!! But, since I've lost 8.5 pounds since starting on Monday, I will keep it up!!! Keeping up with this would be really hard without seeing results, since most of the foods are so bland. I don't do bland foods well!!
I am especially having problems with the Cream of Wheat. Made with water it tastes like paste. Made with milk it tastes like creamy paste! I am having a really hard time getting it down. This morning, I added 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder to it; that made it better. I just was wondering if anyone had any other tips on how to make it more flavorful without adding sugar or violating the whole "liquids only" thing. Thanks!

Lynn, you can safely add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. to enchance the flavor of things such as cream of wheat. You can also add flavorings - vanilla, etc. - just make sure they don't have sugar in them.
If you are only on this pre-surgical diet for 2 weeks just be good to yourself -- this too shall pass!!!

Done! Your Ticker:
There are a LOT of sugar free flavorings out there. I know Sams club has several. Since we don't have a Costco here, but I'm sure they have some too. Walmart has some.
Try Splenda with the Cream of Wheat? The protein powder was a good idea too. Meijers carries some SF no calorie chocolate flavoring...
