I don care for oatmeal but make sure whatever you buy is low in sugar. Eating oatmeal laced with sugar will defeat the purpose.

Just regular quaker oats cooked with Water should be just fine. Stay away from the packaged ones (brown sugar, apple and cinnamon etc). Maybe alittle milk and cinnamon/splenda added. I don't think I could do oatmeal until about 4 weeks post op.........good luck.

Yeah my doctor has me on pureed foods

Wow a good doctor. NO oats for me until mushy period. I ate oats with splenda or stevia and nonfat milk. Very yummy

What kind of oatmeal should i get and what can i add it in? Like honey? Fresh fruit? Brown sugar? Post op 4days!

def not any processed (ie: boxed) as floridas said, added sugars etc..i wasnt allowed oatmeal til week 3 but it had to be watery..so if you do, make it thin, go slow and chew well...4 days out, you are bound to be swollen still.

My doctor progressed me quickly also, I was on soft foods by day 7. Quaker has an instant brand called Weight control, it is higher in Protein than the other instant oatmeals and it tastes good. I cook oats every morning and I add liquid egg whites to them to give me additional protein but right now you probably need to stick to the packets and make sure they are thin enough to go down. Cream of Wheat and grits are another good option. Good luck and enjoy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
