Oatmeal or grits

[whit110 10]

Hey guys, just wondering how any of you are eating these two items. It has so many carbs in just 1/2 just wondering what everyone is doing. Let me know.

I eat oatmeal. Maybe I'll back off once I can eat more solids, but for now it goes down well and I can add Protein Powder .

Me too with the oatmeal and it has a little Fiber too which I need due to loose bm issues .

Definitely oatmeal over grits since it's a superfood in that it has high Fiber, lowers cholesterol and boosts metabolism.

I didn't eat either early out. I still really don't eat them at 17 months out, although I probably could. I occasionally mix a tablespoon of oatmeal into my yogurt and let it sit in the fridge overnight - but that's about the extent of it.

Every once in a while I eat oatmeal. It has lots of fiber and is good for you.

I never eat grits......although shrimp and grits sounds fantastic.

I suspect it would feel heavy in my tummy even now two years later.

I eat oatmeal but make it natural not from the packet since it has a lot more sugar and carbs. Oatmeal is really good for you.

I eat oatmeal but make sure I add Protein.

If I ate grits I would also make sure I added some Protein --- cheese and shrimp sound good, too!

I love oatmeal, )The rolled or 6 grain type), not instant.

I am avoiding it right now due to the higher carbs, but when I get to goal, I will fit it into my meal plan again.

My NUT says absolutely not on either of those until at least 6 months post-op.

I sometimes eat a half serving of oatmeal or cream of wheat (high in iron). If I make oatmeal, I make with milk to boost Protein.
