Boston Market Sweet Potatoes



Recommended Posts

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 :)

. Yes this is a time to heal.... You should be able to have enery, feel satisfied and lose all while healing. You need to start creating good habits.... I was merely pointing out that particular food was high in calories. I am sure you are following g your drs orders... Best of luck to you. :)

My team said not to worry about carbs and calories in the beggining. You still have to try and choose light and ff items but you can have carbs every now and then.

Amen ! While I am sure everyone has their own advice/opinion , I choose to leave my nutritional guidance to my surgery team, the guy I paid with the PHD ;)

You can also ask them for only the sweet potato part and not the topping which is marshmellow and brown sugar.

While I don't eat white potato very often I think to say you can never eat it again is silly. If I am being super healthy I top a potato with salsa instead of butter and sour cream. Since I normally only eat them at a restaurant (which is very rare) I do add butter since I might as well enjoy it.

I have never been to a Boston Market but now it makes sense why it was so high in calories...the topping and sugar... thanks for that info.

I actually eat white potato several times each week since rice and Pasta arent easy for me to digest for whatever reason. I do limit all starches to 1/4 c whether it be baked, mashed or boiled. And I use butter too. Just a smidge.

      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.

        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!
