How do you take your oats?



Recommended Posts

I have never really been an oatmeal fan. Did try overnight oats once witb Peanut Butter and some other stuff and I liked it but i learned that that added up to a lot of carbs so I didn’t stick with it. Anyways it’s an option on this puree diet and I do have the rolled oats left in the pantry so I thought I’d maybe give it a go again. During purée stage or not, how do you take your oats? Hot or cold? And with what add ins?

I made a batch of overnight oats last night and it was pretty good. I did 1.5 cups rolled oats, 1.5 cups Fairlife skim milk, 3 scoops of Syntrax unflavored Protein (30g), 3 Tbsp chia seeds, 1 Tbsp raw honey, 1 Tbsp apple pie spice, 2 navel oranges cut into small pieces, and a pinch of salt. This makes 6 servings.

Ooh I didn’t even think about adding Protein. I have some of the GENEPRO unflavored one I could add. Once you mix in the milk and wait one night is it still good for a few days after or does it get too mushy over time? Even a single serve recipe would last me a few days right now.

It lasts at least a few days, but at this point, you should probably make a small batch, like a half recipe. I can easily eat a serving now but it's very filling.

I was allowed instant oats from purée (traditional oats, so more coarse than the instant, were allowed a couple of months later). I made them with more milk than they advise (extra protein) & ate them hot. Of course it took two or three days to eat a recommended serve of the oats in the beginning and I’d just reheat them & add a little more milk the next days. After a month or so on traditional oats I’d add blueberries. Besides vegetables & fruit, the oats were the other carb I ate but only three or four times a week.

Now I add two big spoons of yoghurt, a spoon of mixed seeds, a scoop of collagen (vital Proteins dissolves really well), cranberries & blueberries. Still made with lots of milk and still eaten hot. Only use about 1/2 - 2/3 of the recommended serve of the raw oats. I always have leftovers but I eat them for an afternoon snack.

Oh I’m glad you said something. I Just read oatmeal. Didn’t specify what type of oats but I knew that the rolled oats are better for me. I better start with instant for now then.

I don’t know how I got through puree stage without them honestly. They were one of the very few things I actually could tolerate to eat.

I do approx 1/4 cup oats, layer it with 0% fat Greek yoghurt and then put about 10g frozen berries on top. Overnight the berries defrost and it means a bit of juice for the mix as well.

My go-to overnight oats:

1 cup oats

1.5 cups unsweeted almond milk

4 scoops premier chocolate Protein

2 tbl sp PB2

a splash of vanilla.

Makes 4 servings, a ton of protein. Oats are a complex carb so burn slow and balances the protein. It tastes just like a no bake cookie 😍

Oh the sugar free syrups. That a good idea. I have some Toranis Syrup in the pantry I think. So this is like the third time I heard mention of these chia seeds recently. I assume they are pretty nutritious? What do they taste like? Can you taste them when they are mixed in??

you cannot taste them imo, they are more of a texture thing and thickens up the overnight oats. They are very notorious tho!

I'm with a lot of folks here - overnight oats are a go since it's so easy to prep ahead and have them on hand at the ready.

Usually for a single serve I mix

1/4 cup oats (you can likely also put them in a food processor or blender to make it slightly smaller but not process enough to make oat flour)

1/4 cup non fat plain greek yogurt

1/4-1/2 cup milk of your choice or even a premade vanilla Protein Shake.

1 tsp chia seeds (agree it doesn't have a taste, just a texture and adds Fiber and a lil more protein)

2 tbsp of pbfit

splash of vanilla

sprinkle of cinnamon

you can also add a sweetener of your choice depending on how sweet you like it after the other ingredients are mixed.

and depending on my mood - i'll add in a little bit of banana and or sugar free mini choc chips. It's very customizable after the base.

      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
