Does anyone eat oatmeal?

I never eat it and the times that I have, I've hated it. However, it's a good carb. Is it considered a slider food? If so, how do you make it not be a slider food?

I eat oatmeal and I add a scoop of Protein Powder to it.

Well, I love oatmeal! Try the Quaker Instant Cinnamon Roll or Maple Brown Sugar. I make mines with milk to make it thicker and I stay full for at least 4 hour hours if I pair it with egg whites. Of course the above recommended is not the healthiest oatmeal because of the sugar but it tastes a whole lot better!

I love oatmeal. I make plain with some sweet-and-lo artificial sweetner or add some no fat sugarfree chocolate mix to it. Raisins are a nice addition if you chew them well, as is any kind of fresh fruit or yoghurt. I make the whole oatmeal but don't cook it to mush.

Well, my definition of a slider food is one that doesn't stay in the pouch as long as it should (ie... slide's right through - like a milkshake)

Oatmeal is not a slider food for most people because it has some roughage to it. It is an excellent carb and has Protein too! Unfortunately it's one of those foods that give some people real fits. You may have to thin it out to get it to stay down.

I love oatmeal and eat it all the time. Even with no fill, I found oatmeal filled me up for nearly 4 hours ( unlike everything else I ate).

It is a great healthy thing to eat :thumbup:

I have just started eating oatmeal and before I just could NOT believe that one of those little packets was ACTUALLY a serving!! (Ha!). Now I make it in a little bowl and eat it with my tiny sterling silver baby spoon and chew, chew, chew. Stays with me for a loooooong time.

I looooove oatmeal! I make plain oatmeal on the stove (not instant) using skim milk instead of Water. Once it is done, I add no-calorie sweetener and pecans. I've also sprinkled in a 1/2 scoop of vanilla Protein powder in with the oatmeal for another way to sweeten it up.

I love oatmeal. I use the 'quick' kind that has to be cooked for about 5 minutes or so. I nuke it with milk then add either natural applesauce or a smashed banana into it. I split it with my daughter for Breakfast (hers gets just a touch of splenda added). nummy!

I do a pkg of instant oatmeal with no sugar added and a scoop of unflavbored Protein. As I am still on mushies it's one of the few things I find "sticks to the ribs" and keeps me satisfied a while.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
