Mashed Potatoes

[Krystle Austin 14]

Is it wrong to want mashed potatoes at 1 week post op? Im bored with broth Jello pudding and popcicles. I am eating 4 oz - 8 oz a day plus liquids. Is this wrong? Help me with ideas of what to eat clear / full liquids?

Potatoes have NO Protein, of course you know that. Do you have Protein Shakes? The post-op period is very important for your success. Try to stick with the rules. If you can't now, just know that it doesn't get easier if you keep pushing the limits.

It won't be long, hang in there.

I have until Nov 16th. The time seems to be going by quick. I've made some really good homemade Soups and they keep me happy.

Try Campbell's Soup pureed. It has more taste. Also soft scrambled eggs. Just take very small bites and chew lots! Call you dietician for advice.

You can strain the chunks out of any Soup and just have the broth so it fits in liquids. V8 also makes some really good Soups with no chunks.

This is what I am allowed for two weeks until I see my doctor. Just got banded today.

Foods for full liquid diet.

I just wanted to say hang in there! in my opinion being on just liquids suck however it is sort of a rights of passage. Stay strong and you will get through this. Then you will realize you can do anything!
