I ate oatmeal that was on the runny side and puréed in weeks 3 and 4. Now I just eat it runnier than I would before I had surgery.

Every surgeons plan is different. I didn't add oatmeal into my diet until 6 months out, but it was allowed at 3 months out. Personally, I wouldn't eat oatmeal at puree stage. Unless you put it through a blender.

I didn't start eating oatmeal until I was a few months out. You'd probably have to puree it pretty well if you were going to eat it at this point. I know we were allowed Cream of Wheat pretty early on, but that's ground pretty finely right out of the box. I'd ask your clinic - but I stuck to whatever kinds of things they told me I could have at certain stages.

Oatmeal is kind of thick, so that's why they want you to have cream of wheat because it's thinner. Thick isn't good at this point.
