What brand of oatmeal is okay to eat in this stage?? Are flavors okay?? "HELP" feeling overwhelmed with making sure I get enough food I typically shop every two weeks....

Right now, you should focus on getting protein. BariatricPal protein oatmeal is a great choice because it is lower in carbs than regular oatmeal and has added protein (you might even want to add some additional protein powder for more protein). I've tried the maple brown sugar and apple cinnamon and they're both good.

Great! that's actually what I was getting the oatmeal for in the first place because I'm struggling with drinking the protein drinks right now

Oh good to know. I was going to order some, but wasn't sure if it would taste good or not.

I had an awful time with the protein shakes/drinks. It all tasted so bad to me. Left a weird after taste in my mouth.

I like to mix in some cinnamon roll flavored protein powder and sprinkle brown sugar Swerve on top. I could only eat half a packet of the oatmeal in the pureed stage (and I actually still only eat half a packet, but now I mix in some nuts and shredded carrots).

I also mixed in nuts as I progressed. I have NEVER heard of mixing shredded carrots into oatmeal.

It's good! I got the idea from Pinterest -- carrot cake oatmeal. Doesn't really taste like carrot cake, but a good way to sneak in some veggies. ?

I love the shredded carrots idea.. brilliant.
