Everyone knows I'm a sucker for good deals, right?

So, when this oatmeal was essentially free 2 weeks ago at Smiths I stocked up! I went to grab my regular Maple and Brown Sugar oatmeal off the shelf when I noticed this "High Fiber" edition and thought I'd better try it. For anyone who has ever done Weight Watchers (which I claim I'm doing but haven't counted my points for over a month now) extra fiber = fewer points.
I made myself a bowl of this oatmeal before I went to work yesterday. I figured it would keep me full because you never know when you'll get a break (sometimes it's not until 9 hours after you get there, sometimes it's not at all!). All day long I felt really gassy. I had also taken 4 different kinds of fruit with me to snack on...maybe that was it?!?! I even snarted in my patient's room (but I don't think anyone noticed this time).

Fast forward to this morning. I wake up, think I'd better have me another bowl of that "High Fiber" oatmeal again. So nutritious, right? WRONG! Well, probably nutritious but NOT good on the bowels. My poor family! My kids kept asking me all day long if I'd just tooted and the answer was YES. Yes, I tooted all day long....really stinky toots that grossed me out (you know they're bad if you gross yourself out!) So I've learned, NOT to be eaten before heading off to work and DEFINITELY NOT 2 days in a row. I feel I've done my job if I can save just one person the misery of discovering this on their own. You're welcome!
