I Miss My Oatmeal (cross post)

Do you eat oatmeal? I like oatmeal and miss it on cold winter mornings. My last taste was about 6 weeks post-op. I was in a hurry and ordered the classic oatmeal from Starbucks. 30 minutes later I regretted every bite. I think it was my first dumping episode. I posted something here and there were a couple of things that may have contributed my discomfort. 1. Too early for carbs and too many carbs in the Starbucks oatmeal and 2. Too much sugar in the Starbucks oatmeal. Now at 7 months post-op and winter in full swing I'm thinking about trying oatmeal again. Only this time I will make it at home and add my protein powder to it. I see on Bariatric Foodie some recipes for baked oatmeal and regular oatmeal. Any suggestions? Steel cut vs rolled? There are 5-6 gram of protein in the oatmeal and with the added protein powder I could get about 25-30 grams, get my fiber in and be full all morning. Or should I just stay away from oatmeal?

Early out, I bought some Bariatric Choice protein oatmeal but didn't really care for it.  I have started eating oatmeal again and FINALLY figured out how to do easily do the steel cut oats, which I really prefer but hate the mess of cooking.  So here is what I figured out.  At night, I boil a little less than 1c of water, salted in a saucepan with a lid.  Add 1/4c steel cut oats and turn off the heat.  Put the lid on and leave until morning.  The next morning the oats are perfectly cooked and ready to be dressed and eaten.  I add brown sugar cinnamon SF syrup, blueberries and walnuts and a little coconut oil and Yummmm.  Heat in the microwave and it is ready to go.  It makes a pretty big bowl which I know I couldn't have eaten in the beginning but the directions say 1/4c is a serving.  It may do you for 2 days early out.  Sometimes I add vanilla protein powder, sometimes not. 

How about this?

90 calories and 15 grams of protein!

old eyes not much good at reading the label.  Can't see the carbs and sugar.  Maybe ok, kind of like the Bariatric Choice ones with protein added in already.  I just don't like instant oats anymore.
