I used to hate oatmeal. Like...sincerely, truly hate it. From it's slimy dischargey goo, to it's bug-like bits....oatmeal just sucked. I wouldn't touch it.

Today, I love oatmeal.

I'm not just saying that.

I'm eating it right now for lunch.

Steel cut oats with a little splenda, a few chopped dried cherries, almonds and pecans. often, I have it with fresh fruit. Bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples....it all works.

I would rather eat this than most things in the world....and that baffles me.

I thin it with a little premiere protein and have a yogurt chaser. Can easily upgrade it to a 20g protein meal this way.

Yep, it's carb heavy. But they're low glycemic carbs that don't cause spikes and it boasts lots of fiber to support good gut bugs.

And I love it. Did I mention I love it?

Who knew I'd be an oatmeal eating fool?

Yay Oatmeal!

LOL

You were so misinformed before -- oatmeal is delicious!!

Can you eat it with the sleeve? I’m told to a elimate all carbs like that

I will have to reintroduce myself to oatmeal, i used to love it but it was more like having some oatmeal with my sugar rather than some sugar with my oatmeal, wont be able to do that anymore.

It depends on your plan. My plan allows for healthy carbs, but some discourage them.

I haven't made oatmeal for a long time, but I used to like to make overnight oats. Now that you mentioned oatmeal, I am going to have to make some soon!!

Truly my fav grain.

Sadly not allowed on my plan for a few more months but I'm looking forward to it! One of my favorite breakfast foods

I have always hated it. I can't stomach the look of it, the texture -- nothing. Just looks like cat vomit to me. Maybe someday I'll try it again but I doubt it.

I’ve always liked oatmeal but the same thing happened with me and peanut butter! Crazy the things that change for us post op’

Yes, yes, you can! And lose weight. And feel terrific:)

I love oatmeal. Except I bought some think thin protein oatmeal while pre-op. One bowl of that almost turned me off oatmeal. However, I still have it so maybe I'll give it a 2nd chance tomorrow night in order to get some protein in for dinner. But if it's still nasty, it's going away!
