I was allowed to eat "thin" oatmeal when I moved to full liquids. It was recommended to add plain Protein powder to it, in order to make it a source of high-protein. I have chosen to not eat it, because I am very conscious of the amount of carbs I eat every day....and oatmeal is very high in carbs, compared to other food options. If you're program information doesn't mention oatmeal specifically, I would highly recommend you check with your surgeon or nutritionist before having some.

All the best!

Oatmeal is a good food option. There are some high Protein oatmeals out there or you can add unflavor protein power. I add nuts and dried fruit and spenda. Oatmeal is a good source of Fiber.< /p>

You just gotta stay away from adding a lot of butter, sugar or cream to it. Oatmeal is great for digestion and cholesterol control

I'm a lazy cook, so I have packets of the Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal in my cupboard. When I am really craving carbs I will sometimes eat a packet, but not every day. Probably once or twice every week or two: http://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/weight-control/weight-control-variety-pack.aspx

I have a serving of oatmeal almost every day. Haven't had any problems with it and can barely eat the small package it comes in. It really helps with my digestion (if you know what I mean ;-)

The oats are not processed so they are very high in fiber whitch lowers the carb count you can ad flavored yogart with sf Syrup instead of cream

It's also good with just oats, cinnamon, banana, and a few crushed walnuts. I have a sweet tooth so I add some splenda as well.

      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.
