Does anyone know if Unsweetened Almond Milk with Cream of Wheat, very thinned out....would this be considered fulll liquid or would it be considered puréed stage? I'm on full liquids now.

Thx!

For my program that would be my puréed stage!

It is on my pureed stage as well.

Bummer

Thank you for the quick response though!!!

I was doing cream of wheat in the full liquid stage. I had no problems with it, and it tastes so good at that point. Enjoy!

Purée stage for me as well.

It's considered full liquid from my doctor.

Puréed stage for me but almond milk was a No No. Too much fat!

My MD and my NUT totally have different post-op plans. I called my NUT on this conflicting info and she said that you just need to go slow and only have as much as you can tolerate, so time frames aren't AS important as pacing yourself and going slowly to judge how your stomach is going to react. This response seemed completely reasonable to me.

It's hard to get an exact answer on this, every surgeon has different plans - as do different NUTs. But it's your body. Try a tiny bite and see how you do. If you react badly, then you know to wait a few more days to try again.

Personally, I'd try the almond milk before the cream of wheat, but I'm pre-op, so what the heck do I know? lol

Good luck!

silk makes an unsweetened almond milk that's not bad: 1 cup = 30 cals, 2.5 grams of fat, <1 carb, <1 dietary Fiber and 1 Protein.

silk's unflavored light soy milk has 60 cals, 1.5 grams of fat, 5g carbs, 1g dietary fiber/3g sugars and 6 grams of protein, by comparison.

I'd rather take the extra gram of fat and skip the carbs and calories, especially if I'm using this for a Protein shake anyway. With that info in mind, which one do you think is better? (i'm a newbie to this, would like some input - also, I don't drink milk currently, so non-dairy options are what I'm interested in)

Cream of wheat was puree for me. I also drink the silk unsweetend almond milk. I'm seven weeks out. You drink so little of it... you probably won't even get that 2.5 grams.

I used Lactaid ( great if you're lactose intolerant) in early stages but also used the silk. The soy gave me gas. But it is a better choice than the almond milk. I usually look at the total breakdown. Some things that are harder to digest can stall your weight loss. I have had pretty amazing success with the sleeve just by keeping the fat and simple carbs as low as possible and keeping my protein and Water consumption up.

I'm gonna have to say that the almond milk is a better bet overall regarding calories, fat and carbs. As soon as I went from Clear liquids to full liquids I've traded Water for almond milk in my Protein shakes. Since I blend with ice I'm not even getting a full serving.
