Boston Market Sweet Potatoes



Recommended Posts

Sweet potatoes sound SO good! My phase 2 is full liquids... What was/is your phase 2?

oatmeal , potatoes , refried Beans.

I guess everyone calls it "mushies" but my paper says phase 2.

I'm starting phase 2 on wednesday and my sister who already had lap band a few years ago said Boston Market was her saviour during this phase haha!! It's weird how the doctors tell us all different stuff..because I was told I couldn't have oatmeal for like a month...I was wondering if Beans is considered a "mushy" ..because I like a black bean kind of creamy Soup and I'm not sure if thats acceptable during phase 2 or the "mushy phase"

Cream of wheat, cottage cheese, pudding, yogurt, oatmeal, refried Beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes or plantains. All of those are phase 2 foods.

The mushie phase list I was given was pretty vague, so I've called my surgeons office a couple of times to ask if certain things were ok. I'm just doing refried canned Beans that I've thinned with a couple of drops of Water. I'd say if in doubt call and ask...... that's what your Dr is there for !

My dr is so strict. You can never have starchy carbs on any phase. Mushies to them consist of plain greek yogurt cottage cheese pureed Protein like your lean meats and smashed up vegies. No sugar. Nothing white. No potatoes. I dint think i can follow it that strictly. I can understand strict but this seems extreme. I like a South Beach type if plan. With occasional low carb carbs.

It does seem kind of extreme ! I can understand once you have clearance to eat and chew, but on the healing phase which is so restrictive anyway, I can't see being that strict.

There are 470 calories in one serving.... Granted one serving is 7 oz....but just be careful.

At this point my only concern is healing properly and having enough calories to provide energy.

Once I'm cleared to eat and work out I'll become more diligent. I'm just trying to survive right now :)

I am so excited for mashed potatoes and pudding. I seriously hate everything about week one because I hate the taste of the chicken broth I bought and I hate Jello so just imagine how I've been all week...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
