I had my band restitched and plication last Thursday and am now on a full liquid diet. While I was in the hospital I noticed they had runny oatmeal and runny grits on their full liquid diet menu. Anybody else consider those two items full liquids?

Yes, I was allowed runny oatmeal or runny cream of wheat while on full liquids.

My doctor's rule was: if it ran easily off the back of a spoon, it was a full liquid.

Best wishes!

Yep, It was on my full liquid list too, along with runny mash potatoes.

Missy is right, if it runs off a spoon its a liquid.

Week one I was on clear liquids. So not for me until week 2 as it was considerd creamy liquids. Either way I do not care for either so didnt concern myself with it.

I got cream of wheat at the purred and blenderized stage and oatmeal after that, wasn't allowed either at the full liquid stage.......everyone is sooo different.

oatmeal (super runny) was not advised to me until week 3 post op. but we are all different. if you want to know the answer to your question, call the dr and ask. they will say yes or no. congrats on your recent surgery todd, good to see you again,

I concur you should call your doctor. He will or his office will let you know what they consider full liquids. Hospitals vary on their diet menus.

Personally I would call that a denser mushie more like week 4.

That was in my mushy period. Talk to the doctor or nutritionist.

I swear all doctors are so different!! I had to do clear liquids for 14 days, then day 14-21, soft foods like oatmeal, cream of wheat, refried beans, etc..., then day 22 starts regular food. I didnt even have a mushy stage

I had surgery on Thursday 5/12 My nutritionist says anything that doesn’t require chewing. If you drink it, then it’s a liquid. Today I am having runny cornmeal porridge so far no issues.

I also made a hearty chicken soup with vegetables and strained it yesterday. I had it twice with no issues
