Full Liquids Question

[moddd 79]

This Thursday I get to start full liquids and plan to feast like a queen. Ok not really but I am honestly really excited to eat cream of wheat. Partly for nostalgia reasons as it was a big part of my childhood. My question is, can I add a dash of sweetener or cinnamon to add taste? And I'd appreciate any tips or tricks to get me through phase two! Thanks

My surgeon said as long as there were no "chuncks" in my full liquids meals, it was okay. So I would not be worried about adding spices or sweetners.

I guess I had a mixed blessing during my 1st month. I really didn't want to eat anything and my stomach took a long time to return to it's normal levels of foods it would tolerate. I was only eating about 3/4 can of cream of mushrooms soup/day for the 1st month. With the occasional spoon of creamy Peanut Butter. Other than those two main things, I was eating sugar free Jell-O and sugar free popsicles.

I never really cared about eating a variety of flavors and only change to a different food once I was burned out on the current one. At 12 months post-op, I'm still pretty much eating the same thing day after day - pork loin or chicken breast or turkey hamburger mixed with black Beans or lentils or refried Beans.< /p>

yes, adding splenda or something to cream of wheat is totally fine!
