Question:
Can we eat grits instead of cream of wheat as long as they are low fat??

Our surgeon includes grits in his list of "acceptable" full liquid foods for the first 3 weeks post-op. In true Southern fashion, they were among the first foods that I had when I came home from the hospital....cream of wheat simply pales in comparison :-) Best wishes!

Yes! I ate them constantly as a new post-op. I still do, and I'm out 15 months now. I also add cheese to mine sometimes (usually eat with just salt/pepper). Being raised in the south, nothing beats good ol' Georgia Ice Cream! haha.....I don't like cream of wheat, never did. Good luck, and enjoy your grits!!
