Hi everyone! I'm on my second week of liquids which means for me I can have things like milk, pudding, and cream o wheat! Since I always had brown sugar before on it, any other topping ideas that will work? I have the little individual packs that say to use 2/3 cup liquid so I will use my milk!

At that stage I really enjoyed it plain. To actually taste the simplicity was a pleasure. The same with oatmeal. I don't even use artificial sweetener.

I have been really working myself off of thinking of food as entertainment for my taste buds.

Instead of milk, I make it with Water in the microwave & then pour a little of my Atkins vanilla Protein Drink on it. Adds flavour & a little sweetness.

Hi MrsM,

Like that cream of wheat, used it for my early breakfasts years past before work and twice the amount plus all that butter and brown sugar,

I'd maybe add molly mcbutter butter flakes and agave Syrup, fat free milk and salt if you can.

I've since that time taken more controlls but that was to me in theory then a great source energy plus nutritrionally for the work, was completley filling.

I would rather drink a glass of diarrhea than ever eat cream of wheat again. Just my personal opinion.

You might just know that fact or not, why state it now ?

I love the Cream of Wheat Healthy Grain since it has extra Protein. I make it with milk and love it plain (I know I am a minority). I like the idea of adding the vanilla Protein Powder, might try that.

I grew up eating cream of wheat, but never sweet. I just love it with salt, milk, and a little butter. Tastes like grits :)

I can't have it because I am allergic to artificial sweeteners, but my mom uses Splenda brown sugar. You can find it at about any grocery store next to Splenda. It comes in a bag instead of mini packets.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
