I was due for surgery last September, but due to rise in COVID number jt was canceled and then we moved. I finally got back in the process and it is now scheduled for December 13th!

I just bought some protein oatmeal, and noticed it has 12g sugar, so thinking I will have to make my own after surgery? I definitely want tk avoid dumping, and originally thought I could add this as a puree option and soft food.

Congratulations!

The sugar is person to person. To be safe, I would say make your own or look for sugar free/no sugar added oatmeal?

That is a lot of sugar for oatmeal! I use Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus in my oatmeal. It doesn’t have any sugar & I’m only getting sugar from the fruit I’m adding.
I would put 1/4C of sugar on my Rice Krispy cereal so I am shocked that I don’t want it on my oatmeal! There are copy cat PC Cinnamon Plus recipes on Pinterest So I just make my own.
You also can buy unflavored protein from a nutrition store & add it to your food during the 1st couple of months.

Good luck with your surgery !

I thought so. I will use what we have now and I found an u flavored protein and was thinking about just adding some berries/fruit and a dash of cinnamon. Thank you.

Thank you. I think that is what I will do. Perhaps will try this much later after, or will just be happy with what I am doing and not want to try. [emoji846]
