is oatmeal I *mush*? Not sure if I'm allowed to have it?

I am 12 days post-op too. I am pretty sure that "mush" is same as "puree" which is what I am on until 9/18.

My NUT said oatmeal and cream of wheat are OK on the puree diet. She recommended that I puree the cooked oatmeal a bit to break down the whole oats a bit before eating it.

I have had it - it is good and I did great.

Hope you are feeling good.

I'm now 2 1/2 weeks out and oatmeal did not sit well with me at all. I tried cream of wheat same deal.... but same day I made some instant butter grits...with a very soft scrambled egg on top and It was amazing! Best meal ever! I managed about half the egg and 1/4 the pack of grits. I think we are all individual and our own body knows what's best for us. Try it and see.....if it doesn't work, on to the next thing.... lol

My surgery was 8/29 so about the same! Just got the ok from the office to add purreed as I can't stomach the sweet shakes anymore... ( pea Protein btw is a GREAT help... added it to one of the strained cream Soups, and will be adding it into Soups and other pureed things to keep up my Protein intake...14 grams protein, 70 cals per serving

did you need to puree the grits more? I actually love grits, would prefer that over cream of wheat..lol.
