Are any of those considered safe on a full liquid diet?

Every surgeon is different but mine was ok with cream of wheat.

My surgeon included all of those on his full liquid list.

When I was at the store the other day I noticed there is one with protein now. I'm going to buy that one next time. I think it was the cream of wheat?

These are not allowed on MY list until day 12 to 19 post op, which is the start of the pureeing phase also known as mushies (?). Tommorow is day 12 for me and I am starving!!!!! I've never liked hot cereal, but right now...it sounds GREAT. I may give them another shot. Enjoy!

I'm not on a pre-op diet YET but I'm just trying some new foods and I just tried Cream of Wheat in Cinnabon flavor - i have to say that i was SAD that it went so fast! haha

it was THAT GOOD!!!!

Wanted to add that CoCo Wheats by Little Crow Foods is also excellent. So good that I eat for dessert some nights. I make a half serving with lowfat milk, Splenda, and I add a teaspoon of Hershey Special Dark cocoa powder. It really deepens the Choco flavor. It's warm and filling and keeps me full for several hours. Easy to, I use the micro directions.

It's cream of wheat and it's not as good as the regular. But I eat it because it has more portein.

what kinds of oatmeal and cream of wheat are we allowed to eat on pre op? Plain or can it be flavored?

I was allowed these on my full liquid diet - just had to be thinned.

I was allowed these on the 2nd full week after surgery and then it had to be very thin like soup.

It wasnt allowed for me, till the mushies stage...and definitely not pre op!! pre op you're trying to shrink your liver to make surgery safer....

to be honest though, I wouldnt even bother with either of these...there are much better higher Protein options out there, like cottage cheese or greek yogurt...the more you limit your processed carbs, the more results you'll see!

hang in there!! it gets better!!!

I was banded on July 1, and am down about 100 lbs...while the banded life aint a bed of roses, I'd do it again in a heart beat!!!
