When i switched to full liquids the nurse told me that I could have cream of wheat as long as I made it kind of soupy. you won't be able to eat much of it but it will be something different for you! good luck!

Weren't you given a diet to follow when you were discharged from the hospital? If not, call your surgeon's office and ask for one. I'm on full puree diet until Oct 27 (Surgery Sept 16). I was given a long list of suggested foods when I left the hospital. At my first post-op appointment last Monday, the surgeon told me I can now leave small pieces of food in my puree, nothing larger than the tip of my pinky. At my next appointment I'm going to be given a new diet to follow. A typical meal for me: I make some mashed potatoes, runny, blend in an ounce of whatever meat my family is eating, and for a vegetable I will have about 1 TBS squash. Or I make a stuffed shell, throw away 1/2 the pasta and blend with some spinach and sauce. I take chicken vegetable soup, add a little more of my own chicken and puree it. I blenderize a meatball with some ricotta and sauce for a "lasagna". The only thing I haven't had is fish because I can't think of anything appetizing to blenderize it with.
