I tried that too and it was gross!  I just added a packet of splenda to it and it helped a little more.... But I have found that I tolerate Cream of Wheat just fine with a little splenda too.  Hope that helps :) 


Also I used to eat the low sugar stuff before my surgery and it dosn't taste that much better.... plus there is alot more sugar than your little pouch can handle!! 

Glad to hear you ladies are doing well.

I really haven't had much problem since surgery.  I've tolerated everything fine, diet-wise.

The only minor problem is last week, I had a bad bout of constipation.  My bariatric center was closed (this happened in the evening), so I had to contact my PCP.  He told me to take some mineral oil, which helped out a lot.  I did make it a point to ask him if mineral oil was WLS-friendly, and he assured me it was.

I've only been walking so far for exercise.  My bariatric center likes to wait until the 2nd post-op visit (which, for me, will be 6 weeks after surgery - April 14) to clear people for exercise.  Coincidentally, that is also the date I go on the soft foods diet.

When I weighed in at my first post-op appointment on March 12, I weighed 321, which is 19 pounds down, officially.  Later in the month, I weighed myself on the scales at a local mall, and I was 310, so I am unofficially 30 pounds down.  Yay me!

I to had my RNY on 3/25/09 I haven't lost any weight either, only the 20+ before surgery.  What you posted has made lots of since to me and made me feel so much better.  Thanks so much : )

Thanks for the well-wishes and prayers! I made it through surgery with some swelling and an infection, but I am now home and recovering. Can't wait for this journey to really get underway!

I was wondering how all the rest of the people who had surgery on March 2 are doing.

I know how Emily is doing, and myself, of course.  But, how has everyone else fared in the past month?  Good or bad, lets stick together and be there for each other, March 2'ers!
