LOL it's going to be a large bowl of oatmeal! Doc requested panel of blood tests for me and one of them is the dreaded lipid panel. Haven't had any saturated fats all week and have had oatmeal more than once. Good thing I like oatmeal. Fasting is always a pain though.
Thinking of some Taylor Pork Roll for my delayed breakfast...how's that for heart attack on a roll ROTFL!
I try not to eat too differently before blood tests. I want to see how my heart actually is, not how it would be if I were eating oatmeal three meals a day. :-)

True, it's silly to fool the doctor.. then you fool no one but yourself.

Why would you try and throw off your blood tests? Just eat normally and get true readings.

I'd rather beat my head against a door jamb till I lapse in unconsciousness than eat porridge (oatmeal) everyday.

If you have a pain, don't tell your doctor. He'll only want to interfere with it.

So that you don't get stuck with higher insurance premiums and/or difficulty finding insurance coverage.

It wouldn't throw anything off. It takes more than a week for the blood to be cleared of excess lipids. Have had normal lipid panels without changing my diet LOL. Most days the only saturated fats I eat come from the butter on my morning toast. We just don't like a fatty diet and never have.

Serene
Oatmeal is a frequent supper of mine; I genuinely do like the stuff. It takes more than a week to change blood chemistry where lipids are concerned. Used to do clinical chemistry so I know these things...up to a point of course LOL. The doc is more concerned about basic blood sugar and my iron levels (which do fluctuate regardless of diet).

Not a problem at the moment; have decent insurance and one wonky blood test result won't change it.

Was actually contemplating putting the TPR on the oatmeal LOL. Ate a roll with a little peanut butter (home made) with a few drops of honey for the late breakfast instead. TPR isn't breakfast food for me at the best of times!
Missed the coffee more than the food!

LOL we don't eat porridge of any sort every day. But it's good a couple times a week, alternated with rice porridge and semolina porridge.

Thinking my doctor would probably like some of her patients to fast a few times a month. Some of the people in the waiting room (multi-doctor clinic) were enormous by any standard.
The fast is only for 12 hours. Already went through that once this summer for MRI with contrast agent. No big deal really.

Someone can spoon feed that [censored] to me when I'm 105 years old and don't have the energy to tell them to 'coff.
Till then, I'll just use the oats in Anzac biscuits.

Nothing personal but I hate any kind of biscuit with oats in it unless it's oat flour. People in my lab used to raid my biscuit drawer in the office and always replaced them with some crumbly oat biscuits. Just not my style.
Arri, I don't recall anyone demanding that you eat oats, in any form.
OTOH, I happen to like them in almost every form. :-)

LOL I know that Wayne. It's the texture of most 'oatmeal' biscuits/cookies that annoys me. The porridge and the oat-flour bread I make are just fine.
How about Anzac biscuits? They seem to have a texture different than most oatmeal cookies/biscuits commonly available.
