does anybody eat oatmeal my doctor's office told me not too because they can expand your stomach I love oatmeal please let me know if anyone has eaten it before

It's actually listed as a food on my 3 week stage from my doctor. But it does say NO GRITS.

My nut told I could have it week 2. We sure heat a lot of different info.

I can have grits and oatmeal, we do really vary:P

I just had oatmeal on monday....I'm 7 weeks out, and I did fine...at 2 weeks out I was approved to have thin oatmeal, cream of wheat, or grits....the most I can eat is 1/2C...I'm burned out on cream of wheat and grits (lived on it during pureeds) and I only eat the steel cut oatmeal, its tastes better to me...

Oatmeal with added protein powder was listed on my food list at week four.

Its listed on my to eat list for week three. I'm 11 weeks out. Love eating oatmeal. I use quick oats, half a scoop of protein powder and vanilla torani syrup. great for pre work out, and i have not had a single problem.

Thanks everyone I will be buying the oatmeal this week BTW I am out 8 weeks from surgery

It is so crazy how each Dr's programs are so different! My doctor said no oatmeal ever!

Yours probably say that because of the carbs in oatmeal...I eat it, but limit my intake of oatmeal, grits and other hot cerals because they are loaded with carbs...

My NUT wants me to eat oatmeal as I need the fiber for the 'stoppage' problem that I have, AKA Constipation. So I cook up a batch of steel cut oatmeal on Sunday, and eat about 1/4 cup mixed with some cinnamon and almonds, three times a week - and no more constipation! I sometimes also buy the frozen steel cut oatmeal at Trader Joes. You just heat it in the microwave, but it's kind of expensive.

Crazy! My book (from doc) says plain oatmeal, plain grits, cream of wheat or rice (cooked well, made thin or soupy) beginning on Day 5!!

Had some oatmeal today, its the only thing that I can eat on some days. It's carbs but its not horrible for you.
