I am only two weeks postop; however I am wondering if I will ever be able to eat oatmeal again?

I do, and I add Splenda to mine.

Start out with a couple of tablespoons first then work your way up to a half a cup. I'm 2 months out and eat a half a cup and a quarter to a half of a banana every morning

Quaker Oats has a lower sugar instant oatmeal.

My nutritionist has me adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to my oatmeal at 4 weeks out and it tastes really good!

Adding protein powder also tastes really good.

I get the reduced sugar Quaker Oats maple and brown sugar. Adding protein powder is a great idea. I have the flavorless powder, and don't use it often.

I'm 10 days post op. My NUT. told me to start with baby oatmeal and mix it really thin. Next week I can have the "real thing" if I put it in the blender and again make it pretty thin. The goal is to work up to the unblended with some protein powder each morning.

I usually use vanilla. It adds a nice flavor. Skip the sugar if you're using a flavored powder. Otherwise it tends to get way too sweet.

Sure you can but start with small quantities
