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...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
