Yes, you read correctly, no typo here!

Cookies. And my personal favorite, oatmeal at that! Next to coconut, I would have to say that the toasty sweet flavor of homemade oatmeal cookies are one of life's great pleasures.

And yes, you can...after weight loss surgery have these cookies...or at least "a" cookie...one at a time, please...here's why...

I'm referring to Kashi Brand Soft-baked Oatmeal Cookies. They come in three flavors, Trail Mix, Oatmeal Raisin Flax and Dark Chocolate. 

Here's the best part...with 7 whole grains, crunchy walnuts and whole flax seeds these cookies pack a wealth of fiber, nutrition and tasty goodness. 

For those of you who thought you would never eat cookies again, Kashi cookies are almost too nutritious to be called a "cookie".  They are high in fiber and low in sugar. The carb count is just right for my hypoglycemia. As a matter of fact they have been a perfect "carry along" item for me when my sugar starts to drop. 

Remember the key is to eat just one. For more on how to "eat just one' and how to incorporate dessert back into your post-surgery maintenance food plan see the post entitled "enrich your life"...check it out!
