They can be time consuming to cook, but not if you soak them overnight -- or bring them to a boil for 1 minute the night before eating them and then letting them soak. They only take 10 min to cook that way. You might also try barley. It has a chewier texture than oats.

My current method is just to make 3 or 4 servings at a time (4 to 1 water to oat ratio and cook for 30 minutes) and divide it up into bowls to put in the fridge. The next morning add a little water and microwave.

I feel ya on the coffee. Sounds like you've done it before, though, giving it up. And I agree: the routine is as delicious as the drink. Try the black tea. It may help with caffeine, but a much milder form and not as damaging to your system.
You can do this. Sorry to hear about the oatmeal. Something else is out there, agreeable and delicious to your tastebuds!
so keep on going. I can hardly wait to see your success, as you come around and begin seeing the amazing benefits of energy and wellness that comes from McDougalling!
