I like Better Oats. My Trainer recommended it to me and it's really good. Won't be on my diet for awhile, tho, since my surgery is this Friday. :-)

I use old Wessex instant with a scoop of chike banana Protein mix& berries. Yum.

Never thought if like oatmeal but as a former Carbie it's a treat.

I'm not allowed instant. It has to be the old fashioned kind. Lol.

It's organic quick cook oatmeal. Nutritionally comparable to steel cut. No added sugar.

I like the regular, Quaker, Old Fashioned Oatmeal. I cook it with Water (it says water or milk) and to make sure it's not dry, you can add a tiny bit MORE water. I add a teeny bit of Lite Butter, I mean a tiny bit.....and I use Stivia to sweeten it. You can also use spray margarine instead of butter.

The spray margarine is a good idea. Thank you.

I can add oatmeal on my 2 weeks out list.

I used a oatmeal/protein supplement on my pre-surgery diet and still use it as it has 15g of Protein and tastes great!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
