Well I am doing great so far since my gastric bypass surgery on August 8th. But today I am wishing I could eat regular foods already. All I can have right now are water, sugar free non fizzy drinks & sugar free Popsicles/jello and broth. *sigh* :-/ I can't wait to move to the next phase. I never thought I would be looking forward to eating cream of wheat.

Omg I feel the same exact way!

FYI cream of wheat kicked my butt!!! I dumped terrible with it. Was fairly certain I was going to die that day. I can eat it now, but have either drink party of a Protein shake first or eat something with protein with it. Good luck!!!

Was it plain from the box? Or the pre packaged envelope ones?

Ooh I will keep that in mind when it comes to eating cream of wheat.

I remembered you said that in another post I read and I was terrified to eat it, but i got the 21/2 min one in the box and it went fine...but boy was I waiting for the fireworks LOL...

I was also hungry after surgery and still am grrrrrrrrrrrrrr..

I'm just fragile funny, pre-op I kept reading about all these people that hoped they would dump and i thought they were insane. I don't want to dump!!! So who is the ONLY one in that group that dumps? The one that didn't want to. Figures . At least it helps keep me honest. We've been camping all weekend and I had a s'more last night.... Oy.

I want dumping too,,,,I'm afraid what imight be tempted to eat over the upcoming holidays if I don't!!

Dumping is evil, you don't want it!!!! Truly it's nothing but a pain in the butt. People that dump don't lose more weight, we just get to be miserable more often!!! but if you do get it, you learn to live. Typically it's no biggie.

I need to rethink the Cream of Wheat thing! It was one of the things i was looking forward to but now I am nervous.

Really ?....I was thinking dumping would be a bonus?.. oh nooooooooo!! Lol

Wow....I'm amazed at what we go thru to be thin huh.??

hmmm, i think i had enough excitement for the last 6 days! LOL

Lol
