I don't think a few bites of mashed potatoes will hurt the band or you.

Take it easy on yourself...you're almost there!!!!Thursday is two days away and it just gets easier from there:cool:

Thanks! I was really worried about that. I know thursday I can have mash potatoes and soft fish.When they say soft fish,can I have tuna or what? I just don't want to mess up.

Thanks again

There is not just soft fish and yes tuna would be ok...you might want to mix it with something though like mayo, don't worry about fat content just yet.

Sole,haddock steamed with lemon,pureed chili,soft boiled eggs, mashed potatoes,yogurt,mashed carrots,mashed turnips.

You can blend or mash anthing,just make sure there are no big lumps.

What about Salmon patties?

I think that would be fine but some people can tolerate some things while others can't.Take tiny bites at first until you know that it won't get stuck.Lots of folks have issues with bread or breading.

Your in week 2-3 post op. week 2 is when my doctor says you can start MUSHY foods. this includes runny mashed potatos. (acording to his list of ok foods)

I wouldnt worry about it.

Im still in my first 2 weeks (8 days post) and just started my Runny cream of wheat. I never knew how good it would taste.
