Is it wrong that I am THIS excited about Cream of Wheat? and a question

So liquidy (pourable) Cream of Wheat is on my full liquids list...added a littl splenda and FF milk...this is like the best cream of wheat EV-ER.  I feel pathetic!

 

I reviewed my plan book, and can't find how much of the full liquids i'm supposed to be consuming--i don't mean water, protein drinks--i mean like jello or FF/sf pudding or cream of wheat...I'm only 5 days post-op so I have not gained feeling back for "full"...and don't want to overdo it!

Yeah make sure you measure at this point. I am 12 weeks post op and I don't know what full means yet. I do know what it feels like when you eat too much or eat the wrong thing and that is not fun.

I am surprised cream of wheat is on your list. Seems like it would have a lot of carbs.

it is higher carb than I would like--I've been sticking to SF jello SF/FF pudding, and Greek Yogurt...I wanted something warm since my tummy is protesting coldness right now.

 

And since I can't finish 1/4 cup, I think I'll start with that and eat what I can...

I didn't really start to focus on my plan (excep****er and protein****il I got to full food. I pretty much just stuck to the recommendations through liquids and soft stage. Water and protein I started tracking as soon as I started drinking shakes.

It is on my full liquids phase also.  They also have written down to add Powdered Carnation Milk to anything for protein.  I have looked at the carbs, calories, protein, etc but I will probably stick with unflavored unjury when I can.

I did liquid "food" things like cream of wheat in 1/4 cup increments.

1/4 cup is a good place to start.  I think my plan said a 1/2 cup, but when I did that, I was with others and making it last a full meal time for everyone!

Glad you are enjoying it -- I totally skipped Cream of Wheat and went for the Fage Yogurt mixed with Sytrax Chocolate Truffle protein powder!

I'm on the preop liquid diet but a little cream of wheat is allowed.  It tastes so good when everything else you are consuming is liquids. lol

At only 5 days out 1/4 cup is loads. If you think cream of wheat is good - wait'll you try oatmeal! My sis and I made oatmeal, then puréed 1/4 cup of it in hot milk with some Splenda - oh my! Took an hour to get down, but it was fabulous!
