Can we eat oatmeal? If you did eat oatmeal will it make us gain weight?

I was allowed to eat "thin" oatmeal when I moved to full liquids. It was recommended to add plain Protein powder to it, in order to make it a source of high-protein. I have chosen to not eat it, because I am very conscious of the amount of carbs I eat every day....and oatmeal is very high in carbs, compared to other food options. If you're program information doesn't mention oatmeal specifically, I would highly recommend you check with your surgeon or nutritionist before having some.

All the best!

I eat at least 1 serving of oatmeal a day- NO worries with weight gain at all...Also et Oat Bran cereal and Oat muffins- NO problems

I was told no oatmeal.

Oatmeal is a good food option. There are some high protein oatmeals out there or you can add unflavor protein power. I add nuts and dried fruit and spenda. Oatmeal is a good source of fiber.

You just gotta stay away from adding a lot of butter, sugar or cream to it. Oatmeal is great for digestion and cholesterol control

I'm a lazy cook, so I have packets of the Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal in my cupboard. When I am really craving carbs I will sometimes eat a packet, but not every day. Probably once or twice every week or two: http://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/weight-control/weight-control-variety-pack.aspx

I have a serving of oatmeal almost every day. Haven't had any problems with it and can barely eat the small package it comes in. It really helps with my digestion (if you know what I mean

I'm not sleeved but I asked my nut this question bc I eat steel cut oats and she said it was fine. I plan on adding protein powder to it as well.

I was told no oatmeal.

Thanks so much for the feedback i had some oatmeal from McDonald's and it was sooo good

The oats are not processed so they are very high in fiber whitch lowers the carb count you can ad flavored yogart with sf syrup instead of cream

I LOVE my 1/4 cup of oatmeal with 3 squirts of Parkay, 1 Splenda and a little pour of Silk Light!!

It's also good with just oats, cinnamon, banana, and a few crushed walnuts. I have a sweet tooth so I add some splenda as well.

I would watch out for anything from a fast food place. If you look up the nutritional info it has a crap-ton of sugar: http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/food/product_nutrition.breakfast.711.fruit-maple-oatmeal-.html
