Farina is not liquid and you are on a liquid diet. I think you know the answer. Isn't Farina very heavy in carbohydrates? This question should not be posed to us it should be asked of your Surgeon and Nutritionist/Dietician. For your sake I hope it is ok.

Thinned-out cream of wheat is on my list for full liquids into mushy foods...idk did you feel any discomfort when you ate it? You should probably ask your nutritionist before you try something you're unsure of though. Just to be safe.

My NUT provided a listing of foods to have in preparation for the surgery. There was also information on the foods allowed through the various stages, liquids and puree then on to soft food/mushy foods.

Everyone is different, but when in doubt check with your doctor or NUT.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
