Can you eat cream of wheat on week 1?

Yes! And you can even mix in a little unsweetened applesauce! Cream of rice works too. Just remember you will only be able to eat a couple of tablespoons. Maybe 1/4 cup, but it'll take you awhile. Thin it out too.

Forget the Protein powder. You'll be fine. Believe me, that cream of wheat will stick to you.

You just had surgery! You don't need to focus on Protein yet. Just be gentle with yourself. At 1 week out, I was eating cream of rice, unsweetened applesauce, and puréed meat and veggies. That was it. Since you only eat about 3/4 of a cup total per day, i just didn't have time for variety. It got much better on the next stage. Almost like normal food! Focus on your Water more than anything. You'll never lose as much as you do right in the beginning, so take advantage of the opportunity. Good luck!

Thanks, so mainly concentrate on my Water. I've been frustrated because I can't get the Fluid amount or Protein amount in. And I feel like I'm getting weak

Idk... purée some things and make some Soups. That way it counts for liquid too. broth counts for fluid and has some calories to it. Definitely focus on liquids for the time being. You will be weak and tired. It's part of the process. Your body is literally starving but it'll adjust and when it does, you won't lose as much as quickly.

Cream of Wheat has been my go to food for big Protein count. It's also been one of the only things that has actually tasted good. I'm 17 days out from my VSG and 23 lbs down still my energy level is not good but getting better. Good Luck!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
