Are you not allowed to eat oatmeal? When was your surgery? I am 4 months out and I am allowed to eat it :)

5 months and yes, however baked oatmeal has a boatload of carbs and not a lot of Protein, just looking for something a little less carb-y and a little more protein-y. Actually think I've got it figured out, we'll see in the morning!

Quinoa has Protein and is delicious with berries as a Cereal

2 c. Skim milk + 3 T. added dry skim milk for Protein

1 c quinoa

3 t. Splenda

1/4 t. Cinnamon

1 c blueberries

Bring milk to a boil

Add quinoa, return to boil

Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes

Add berries, splenda, and cinnamon

Cook for a little longer...til berries are heated through, maybe 1 minute

Serve with a little milk and more berries

You can also do quinoa with dried fruits, dates or apricots which are high in sugar, but also high in Vitamins and minerals.

Nutritional info: Protein 6 grams , carbs 20 g. Folate( yay) 35 mcg. ....not bad for a hot Cereal. I sometimes do this for Breakfast before workouts.

Gonna make this today too! Have a box of quinoa in the cupboard. I tried it once just plain and hated it but it was too expensive to throw away. Thanks for the recipe!

Going to try it also, but changing the skim milk to either original coconut milk by Silk or their almond milk, both have less calories then skim and about half the carbs. Also, might add they both have more Calcium. I love my oatmeal also but gave it up because of no protein and felt the only advantage of it was the Fiber and of course it lowers your cholesterol (but that is eating it daily-not). Thanks for the recipe. Going to the store shortly and get some fruit.< /p>

I make this a lot now that it's cold. It warms my son up before he braves the cold , and it really fills me up...a little goes a long way:)

For those of you who think they don't like quinoa, it may be that you have bought the kind that hasn't been pre-rinsed. Freshly harvested seeds are covered with a bitter substance called saponin. In nature the saponins function as a pest repellant. This coating needs to be removed, both because it is somewhat toxic, and also it is very bitter. Even when I buy "pre-rinsed" quinoa, I give it a quick rinse in a strainer. It is worth the trouble, though, because this is the only high (ish) carb food that I eat- it is a great seed and it also has Protein. I use it anywhere I would use rice, oats, etc. You can also buy quinoa flour.

This morning I made a baked custard with quinoa, eggs, milk, pear puree, and vanilla Beans. So yummy, you wouldn't believe it. It will be my Breakfast for the next 5 days, or so...

      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.
