Oatmeal

[suthern_girl2012 5]

I love it...Especially with strawberries & blueberries....Will I ever be able to eat it again?

On my plan, it says I can try grits, cream of wheat, and oatmeal after 4 weeks as long as it is REALLY runny at that point. I can try it thicker at 7 weeks. I guess it will depend on your plan and progression. Also, if you don't tolerate it one time, wait a few weeks and try again.

I've been eating it for a little while now, get some sugar free instant and mix it up kinda runny, then put in some kind of artificial sweetener. be warned though, it's very filling and has little nutritional value, so the other meals of the day will need to be more healthy than usual.

I eat oatmeal 4-5 days a week- and if you make it extra milky (using Protein drink) or almond milk during mushies it works really good and fills you up- I remember the days I could eat 3 pouches- Now I eat 1 and am stuffed all morning and 1./2 the afternoon...

I started eating it about 9 months out. I was afraid to try it sooner because I had issues with bread, rice, and Pasta early on. I eat 1/4 cup of oatmeal made with 1/2 cup of Water at Breakfast now instead of a slice of toast. Tastes great with a little splenda and I haven't had any problems.

Thats not true at all. Oatmeal has a lot of nutritional value. For one, it lowers cholesterol. For two, it is an excellent source of Fiber and contains about 6g of Protein per cup. It is also chalk full of Vitamins and minerals and 18 different amino acids. Oatmeal is very good for you.
