Oatmeal and RNY??

I tried oatmeal during the first two months and it hurt my tummy so bad I have not had it since. I only was able to get in 2-3 tbs and I gave up, it was the weight control and it has protein added to it. I miss it but not the pain it was to eat. Once again we all respond differently to different foods

Oatmeal is a great food for us.  We need some whole grains in our diet.  I personally love the Active Lifestyle Instant Oatmeal (Raisen, Apple & Walnut).  I always make it with a 1/2 cup of warm skim milk (a little on the soupy side).  Sometimes I'll add unflavored protein or toasted walnuts to bump up the protein.  I am 11 months out and can almost finish an entire packet.  I notice on mornings when I have oatmeal I tend not to be as hungry during the day.

Nutrition:  170 calories, 5 sugar, 8 protein

 Also, if you add the protein from the skim milk and unflavored protein powder, you could easily get this in the 20 gram range.  Just sayin'!

Thanks for all the input everyone!!  I'm always looking for different food options?

 I buy the instant oatmeal packets in low sugar or sf maple brown sugar........it tastes so good and I mix it with 2/3 cup milk in the microwave for two minutes and eat it on toast.  I can't eat the whole thing though.

I eat it all the time, but I'm almost 4 years out. Usually use Quaker Weight Control and make with soy milk, add Splenda Brown Sugar and slivered amonds. Also meke with whole oats and will also add a small amt of dried apricot. As others have noted. oatmeal does fill me up and keeps me satisfied longer.
