Just had an interesting and instructive experience. I’m starting my fourth week post op and am allowed cream of wheat (which I loved as a child, and apparently still do). I’ve been told to keep my meals to 1/2-3/4 a cup but was enjoying this so much and the recipe/serving on the box was for 1 cup so I made one cup. After having my 3/4 cup (thinned) a bit faster than my usual 10 min between 2-4 tablespoon fulls as a time I decided to have the last 1/4 (the rest). Mistake, 10 min later I start sweating, little pain in my chest and generally not feeling great. It all passed in about 30 min but I am grateful for the gentle yet firm lesson from my body that 3/4 is my limit for now. Being 10 years post sleeve the bypass has very different cues (at least at this point) and I’m paying attention.

Yep. Our bodies can be pretty vocal about what it likes/doesn’t like or tolerates/doesn’t tolerate.

I was really happy when I was able to eat rolled oats too (instant initially). I’d make up the full serve (on milk) with extra milk added to further thin it too & I’d eat it for three days. ? Each day I’d scoop out the portion I could eat & reheat it in the microwave. I still at it very day with blueberries. Yummy!
