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 ;-)

I'm not sleeved but I asked my nut this question bc I eat steel cut oats and she said it was fine. I plan on adding Protein Powder to it as well.

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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
