I just went to Wal-Mart to try to get some protein stuff I could barely walk and by the end of 15 minutes almost passed out.

My bosses wants me to come back to work on Monday and I thought I was ready but if I can't even walk 15 minutes in Wal-Mart I don't think I could take an I hour shift doing treadmill test to patients

I made this same mistake the first time I went out after my surgery. Gotta take it slower and make sure you always have your Water or SF beverage with you to sip while walking around.

What casings of things did you eat after your first 2 week of fluids

I was able to have natural apple sauce, cream of wheat, and sugar free pudding, banana, cream of wheat, and oatmeal.

how did you fix tire cream of wheat and oatmeal

Yes, i never liked oatmeal, even ad à child, was à grits eatter...how in the world can u make that tasty?

Okay, so I hate oatmeal as well, but decided to give it another try. Yeah, didn't happen. Was still as nasty as I remember it! LoL! I was completely BLOWN AWAY at how much cream of wheat tastes like grits!!! Now that I can have cheese, I add that to cream of wheat so it is kinda like cheese grits! I say go cream of wheat and screw the oatmeal. LoL!

I had my VSG 6-10-13 and just came back to work today 7-15-13 for a total of 5 weeks off. I'm so glad I gave myself the time (which my NP recommended by the way) because a pattern I am rectifying is self neglect, overdoing and not listening to my body. It wasn't until about 3 days ago that I began actually eating real food and adequately drinking fluids which makes all the difference energy and stamina wise. Be gentle with yourself. Your body has undergone a traumatic surgery. Practice loving kindness.

All the best,

Rosie

SOOOO sorry it took so long! Here is the pic of the cream of wheat. Looks like Uncle Ben in the circle, but it doesn't have a "brand" name.

I use aguave nector "amber" it's more like a maple syrup flavor. It helps sweeten up the cream of wheat.

Thx corky

You're welcome!!!

I like to mix applesauce in the oatmeal. Makes it creamier and a little tastier.
