Just given the okay for full liquids



Recommended Posts

I made soupy cream of wheat but have no idea when enough is enough. I used 1 c milk and 2 tbsp. farina with a touch of Splenda. What would be considered a serving? I ate probably 1/3 of it and feel like I could eat more, but don't want to risk anything.

Help!

Oats fill me better than wheat. I would make a hearty serving from the box directions using Water. I would then divide by 4 for a serving. 3 go into the fridge for later, then I add milk to make my serving runny or thin. I feel so much more satisfied when I set down with my small serving in a small bowl and I can eat the whole thing. I also like having 3 servings handy and quick in the fridge. This has been a go to for me.

I have a bunch of full liquids and soft food recipes that I used posted here. Be sure to read the list of ingredients carefully since different docs have different reccos on what is allowed. All these are high Protein and low carb.

When I was on full liquids (4 weeks of em, ugh!) I wasn't allowed oatmeal. Too chunky I guess. I was allowed soupy cream of wheat and malt o meal. Never been a fan of any hot Cereal besides flavored oatmeal (the kind filled with sugar!), so I bought some chocolate malt o meal. Yuck. Didn't eat enuf to see if it filled me up or not. I stuck with cream Soups (Progresso Tomato Basil is yummy), sf Jello, sf puddings, yogurt, and Protein shakes.

Congrats on being able to progress ur diet. BTW, my serving size that first month was about 1/2 of a little pudding cup, or 1/2 cup of Soup.

I'm on full liquids this week and cream of wheat tasted good to me. My surgeon said 3-4 oz is a serving and if it "Plops, stop!" So My husband just made the smallest possible serving size (using skim) and then I put it in tupperware and when i'm ready for Breakfast I mix about 3 oz of the Cereal w/1 oz skim milk to make it runny because it does set up a bit. It portioned out to about 3 to 4 servings. I find this the best way to mix in my nexium too...all in one nasty bite & enjoy the rest. Just slow & steady..Good Luck!

3 oz of cooked cereal, right? Then add the milk to thin it. I just made a thinned serving. It was a PITA to make and I wasted so much. I feel like an idiot. Probably just lack of nutrition.lol

Mine was more like 2 oz measured cooked Cereal to 1 oz milk. My Dr's rule is "If you can pick it up with a fork, it's too thick."

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
