For years, gaining weight has been a struggle for me. I was always known as “Tiny”—a nickname I both loved and hated.

After giving birth to my first child, I never returned to the weight I was before pregnancy. What surprised me most was that after giving birth, I was actually smaller than I had been before.

For years, I went on and off unsuccessful weight-gain journeys. I would gain a little weight, only to lose it right back. It felt like I was constantly starting over.

The Moment Everything Changed

Earlier this year, I underwent spinal surgery. I was alone during my recovery and couldn’t cook for myself, and during that time I lost more than 25 pounds.

Eventually, even my XXS clothes weren’t fitting the way they used to. I didn’t feel like myself anymore, and I knew I needed to take my journey more seriously.

I started with regular oatmeal packets. Then I thought: Why not make plain oats myself so I can control what goes into them and add ingredients that help me increase my calorie intake?

And that’s exactly what I did.

Every morning while getting my kindergartener ready for school, I made my oats. I didn’t miss a day.

I researched what worked best for me, how many calories I needed for my goals, and different ways I could make my meals more calorie-dense. As I started incorporating my high-calorie oats into my diet, I began noticing changes.

One of the first was my appetite. I started feeling hungrier throughout the day—which was HUGE for me because I’ve never had a big appetite.

Then, two weeks into my new routine, I went to a doctor’s appointment.

The woman taking my vitals was so confused about why I was so excited when I saw the number on the scale. 😂

I had gained 15 pounds in 14 days.

I literally told everybody I knew. Because if you know me, you know how long—and how hard—I’ve struggled to gain weight.

That was my personal experience, and everyone’s body and results are different. But for the first time in a long time, I felt like I had found something that worked for me.

Then I Posted My Oats…

One morning, I randomly decided to record myself making my special oats and post the video.

It went viral.

I couldn’t believe the response. I’m barely active on social media, so I definitely wasn’t expecting it. People were asking questions, wanting to know what I put in my oats, and sharing their own struggles with gaining weight.

That’s when I realized something:

There are so many of us going through this.

People who have always been naturally small. People who struggle with their appetite. People who have tried over and over to gain weight, only to lose it again. People simply looking for an easier way to add more calories to their day. People like me.

And that’s when Oh So Oats™ became more than my personal recipe.

From My Kitchen to Yours 🤎

I decided to turn my high-calorie oats into a blend that I could share with others.

I’ve put countless hours into researching ingredients, testing different versions, adjusting my formula, and creating something I’m genuinely excited to put my name behind.
