Is Farina Considered Liquid? What Else To Eat?

[ChristyLove 39]

If I make farina (hot cereal) very loose and soupy is it considered liquid?

Jello, Protein Shakes, what else?

Would stay away from Tomato Soup - that's too acidic, potato Soup, too carby, cream of asparagus - pureed first then add your skim and cook, Healthy choice bean and bacon soup - pureed with some Water first then add your Water is considered full liquids. sugar free pudding, sugar-free Jello, vegetable soup strained.

I see all the time cream of wheat but it has high carbs and I was told not to do that grits or oatmeal, but that's just my doctor.

Strained Broccoli Cheddar soup, Syntrax nectar (I like fuzzy navel). I just finished 5 long grueling weeks of full liquids. Good luck to you.

I don't know about the farina - if its all liquidy - then it should be ok - but check with your NUT - or maybe someone hear can give you a better answer

you can eat popsicles, popsicles and more popsicles at this early stage, considered a liquid

i'll have my dinner - wait an hour or so and have my desert - what you say - yup my purple popsicle, can't get much better than that really

good luck

Thinned out hot cereals were listed on my full liquid diet as long as the consistency is watered down. It really helped me get through the liquids stage, and as I moved to pureed, I just cut down on the Water and had the regular version of hot Cereal. I made it with water and then thinned it out with non-fat lactaid milk, added some sweet and low and maybe cinnamon...yum!

The rule for me was if it would go easily through a strainer, I could have it. Truthfully, at that stage I didn't worry about carbs. I had a lot of them actually and did fine. I lost 18 pounds during my 3 week postop diet.
