rolosmom7 740 Posted November 13, 2016 I had grits which were on my plan week 4 with some fish and they were horrible! Expanded in my stomach is my guess, but it felt absolutely awful. I have not done grits or cream of wheat since. I am able to eat oatmeal since week 4 and it's good, nice and warm and sits well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ButterflySeoul 98 Posted November 13, 2016 I was allowed thinned cream of wheat early on-- I can't remember if it was in full liquid though or the next stage up.. but I remember it being wonderful lol. I thinned it quite a bit with skim milk, and added a scoop of Protein powder to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted November 13, 2016 What does your plan say? Cream of wheat was on my plan beginning at Day 14. Grits are on the "avoid forever" list since they expand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QueenOfTheTamazons 634 Posted November 13, 2016 I was given cream of wheat while in the hospital and on full liquids. I would say yes HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armygalbonnie 643 Posted November 13, 2016 Cream-of-wheat is nowhere in my plan. It's a carb and my Dr. says NO. I can have whole grain carbs max 2-3 X a week and oatmeal is not even recommended. While on full liquids, make sure there isn't any food particles. With that being said, it seems like you would only be getting strained Water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My people spent weeks trying to push carbs on me until I finally got pointed about it said it wasn't going to happen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggiemae 739 Posted November 13, 2016 It's a yes on my list too. 1/4 cup dry makes twice as ch as I can eat. I make it with 4oz of warm cashew milk mixed with a 1/2 scoop of Protein Powder (about 10 grams protein) very filling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted November 14, 2016 Cream of wheat was on my mushies plan but I didn't want the empty carbs when I could barely meet my Protein goals. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shelly.s 11 Posted November 14, 2016 I can have cream of wheat and cream of rice. Was wondering about Oat Bran since it's high in Protein. Just thinking about Fiber and a variety of foods Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 14, 2016 All grains were completely off limits during weight loss phase on my plan. As you can see, plans vary a lot. You should check with your team to see what yours allows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
