Hi-

I have been off the mushy stage and wanted to add some new things to my diet.

I want to add oatmeal. How much oatmeal can I eat?

Thanks

Eat it until you throw up... then the next day eat a little less than that.

Joking aside, everyone is a bit different. I could eat a good half cup or so pretty early out... now I have no problem finishing off a starbucks oatmeal with blueberries.

have you gotten a meal plan of some sort from your surgeon?

start with 1/4 cup

I'm just scared to over eat and stretch my stomach.

Have you been cleared for oatmeal? Just checking, but for some oatmeal can be rough early on. They usually recommend cream of wheat.

I am 4 weeks po and eat oatmeal. I can only eat about 1/4 cup.

I'm 4 weeks out and can start having oatmeal today. 1/4 cup or 2oz of most foods is a reasonable serving. You may or may not be able to finish it.
