That's fine. Just understand that any food that is not fully digested before your workout will probably sit in your stomach until your body beginst to recover after the workout. During your workout, your body will be using it's energy to do things other than digest food.

I would save the big breakfast for after your workout, eating only something light before hand.

Half cup oat meal and cup of fat free milk/protiene drink half an hour before the gym?

Half an hour before the gym won't give your body much time to digest.

If your gym is not just next door to you, then an hour will have probably passed between the time your got up and started your first set. So, use that to your benefit by eating the moment you get up--before brushing teeth or showering.
