Talk about a trigger food OMG!
I mill my own flour and am playing with my newest mill (Mockmill 200). It can grind very coarse so I offered to make my daughter some homemade Cream of Wheat. I tried maybe a quarter cup prepared. 20 minutes later I am like a crack addict. Holy heck folks, keep those trigger foods at bay- they can possess your soul if you let them!

Yea, I love steel cut oats as well. Back when I carefully tracked everything the pattern became very evident that on the mornings I started with it my calories were high by the end of the day. Protein shakes still even this many years out are the best way for me to start.

Since I had VSG, hot cereal is my reward for shoveling snow :) I love it, and shoveling snow is a great workout, so I decided to connect the two in my brain. It also helps that I live somewhere that does not get a lot of snow!

Ugh - shoveling snow! Reminds me that season is just around the corner. It has been in the upper 30's the last 2 mornings - it get's nice by the afternoon, but still a preview of what's to come and I REALLY don't like winter.

I like this idea. It would go a long way to help with restricting without completely eliminating it.

I find Bulgar Wheat a good hot cereal that I am capable of eating one serving.

When I was about six years old, I did not finish my oatmeal one morning. My mother served the rest to me for lunch and I did not want to eat it. It was there for supper that night and I just went hungry. The next morning I refused to eat it for breakfast.
When I came home for lunch, she fed me something different. I have not been able to eat hot cereal since.
Maybe she did me a favor.

Cold oatmeal is disgusting. I don't blame you and dang, you had some resolve at a young age!

This was polenta for me growing up...I cannot eat it any more, sadly. We'd always have polenta for breakfast, and sometimes would have eggs or fish. I would always wind up an addict and eat way more as the day wound on!
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much...the life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully. -- Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
