I guess every doc is different..oatmeal is actually on my list under Full Liquids phase. I can have things like really watered down oatmeal and refried beans. I was worried about oatmeal being so "sticky" but It worked out fine. :)

my surgery is on the 29th (one week...so soon, yet so far away!!) and my doctor allows for oatmeal during the liquid phase, too.

State: Louisiana | I am now banded
Hello August Allstars-
I was banded on Thursday and had to stay in the hospital overnight due to my insurance. When my doctor was putting the LAP-BAND® in, he noticed I had a hernia, well he fixed that while he was in there. I am in a little pain and I continue to walk to releive the gas. I am looking forward to my new life.

But since I'm not an oatmeal fan, I bought cream of rice, which is also allowed for me starting next week. I figure that Hey! Maybe it will taste like rice pudding, which I LOVE!!!! I could OD on rice pudding. Thank God Kozy Shack has a SF version. Whoohoo!
Am I just dreaming that Cream of Rice will taste as good as rice pudding? LOL!

Hello everyone! Today was my first THICK LIQUID day. I had my protein drink for breakfast. For lunch, I had potato soup. I mashed all the potatoes so I wouldn't have any chunks and added more liquid to thin it down some. IT WAS THE BEST EVER! lol (especially after thin liquids for 3 weeks)
I ate lunch about 12:30. It is almost 8:00 now and I'm not hungry yet! although I have been drinking my water and tea. I feel really good. I think I did eat a tad bit too much soup for lunch because I was hurting just a little but it went away fast.
I am just so excited that I finally don't feel hungry like I have been with the thin liquids and also because I'm not sore anymore.
Good luck to everyone that is just starting!!

Good luck to everyone that is just starting!! | Paula! Shut Up! I had a protein drink for breakfast and potato soup for lunch also! Wow! I bought some Campbells Garden Harvest soup, threw it in the blender and added a ton of pepper. It was really terrific. I think I'm going to be able to top off my day with just liquids also. Great minds think alike, I guess. LOL! Good luck to you! Bonnie

City: Lufkin State: Texas | Congrats on the surgery! Yesterday was one week since my surgery. I am mostly sore-free now. I started my thick liquids today.
Good luck!
