Mash Potato

[courtney333 35]

I'm out 9 days is it okay to add mash potato to your diet if their in liquid form

It was included in mine.. But to make sure, you might need to call your Dr to make sure you aren't excelling too fast.

What does your surgeon's plan say?

Week two for me was full liquids but no cream/milk so I could have probably made potato Soup with broth (no butter or milk). I did have store-bought sweet potato Soup that week. I think it would have been at least three before my plan would have included mashed potato, even thinned unless it was really soup consistency.

Each surgeon seems to be different and it's always best to follow their guidelines.

Good luck!

It says 3 weeks out but they are in the Soup form but I think I'm gonna cut back but I'm running out of things to eat! Chx broth Jello yogurt ughhh what else is there . At day 14 I can add flaked fish or meats puréed

My advice? Skip potatoes.

Puree Beans (black, pinto, lentils) rather than mashed potatoes. Beans are more filling, more flavorful, have Fiber and more Protein. You are eating for nutrients and Protein until you hit goal.

Thanks iegal! Good advice! I think I will stick to it too! Any ideas on other great things to eat/puréed?

I actually avoided pureeing foods. I chose soft foods and chewed them very thoroughly... never had a problem. Somehow, pureeing foods, to me, is just not a natural act.
