This may be a dumb question --- Am I allowed to eat oatmeal with liquids or do I have to wait the 30 minutes?  I'm kind of confused because oatmeal was included in our liquids list at the beginning.  

I make my oatmeal thick so it's like eating a soft food.  If you add in milk and it's kind of runny, you could do what I do with soup.  I drink the broth then eat the meat and veggies.  I know others have posted that with cold cereal they were told to just eat the cereal and throw the milk away after it has soaked in a bit and others have said they were told to drink the milk after it soaked in and then eat the cereal.

Thanks Tracey.
