I need to lower my cholesterol (even after losing this much weight, it is still over the 200 mark) so I wanted to added oatmeal into my diet for the next three months, to see if that helps.

I had Quaker instant packages in maple and brown sugar (my pre-sleeve favorite)

Its nutrition is:

160 calories

2 g fat

33 g carbohydrate

4 grams of Protein.< /p>

I also ordered som Maple and Brown Surgar oatmeal packets from Bariatric Advantage website.

Its nutrition is:

100 calories

1 g Fat

8 g carbohydrate

14 grams of protein.

I ate the Quaker on Saturday and the Bariatric Advantage this morning to compare.

I probably preferred the Quaker's taste (I would rate it a 9 on a 1-10 scale) over the

Bariatric Advantage (rated a 7 on a 1-10 scale). But for the difference in protein, carbs and calories - I am choosing the Bariatric Advantage to be my Breakfast oatmeal.

Anyone else have any good sources for high protein oatmeal? I got some ground Flax Seed, and I am going to stir a couple of tablespoons of that into the oatmeal to help with my Quest for lower cholesterol.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
