I have never seen a post regarding these items. What about whipped sweet potatoes really thin.? Also can I purée watermelon or eat it is very small bites b

You are only 8 days out. I'm not allowed this and I'm 3-1/2 weeks out, so I would ask your doctor or your nutritionist.

On My fitness Pal

1/2 Sweet Potato (90 grams) is 81 calories 19 carbs 2 Protein and 33 sodium

This is without whipping the Sweet Potato with anything like skim milk, ff sour cream, or spray butter.

I have attempted instant mashed potatoes made with skim and ff butter and was able to get in 2 teaspoons before I got full. PS - against the advise of my doctor...i know better now.

Watermelon - 1 cup balled is 46 calories 12 carbs 1 protein and 2 sodium

The watermelon sounds delicious, but it's 12 carbs and though it adds 1 protein (on everything I have found so far) it's just not worth the calories and carbs to sit and eat a cup of it.

I went in for a three week check up and was hoping to get moved to Purees. She made me look at my tummy and said, look how swollen your stomach is. It's swollen on the inside too. Why would you want to try to push food that is not liquid in there at this time. Let it heal and it will hurt you a lot less.

Some doctors allow pureed foods and soft and regular a lot quicker than my doctor. Everyone should follow their doctor's advise.

After 8 days I wasn't even handling 25 grams of protein in liquid form, though I could get down 64 ounces of Water and decaff peppermint tea.

Some may say it's no problem, I can only advise you as to what my doctor, nurse and nutritionist tells me.

All doctor's and tummy's are different.

Watermelon sounds hydrating but I just read that it is a natural diuretic!!!! Not so good for hydration.

I can have sweet potato in week four. There is an organic, canned version (for pies I'm sure) at Whole Foods and year around. It's very thin and silky. My kids eat it. I find it other places only at the winter holidays.

I'm almost 5 months, and I made myself sick (literally!) eating watermelon the other day. You think "O it's mostly Water any how, not gonna hurt anything!" WRONG it was sooooo good and juicy I ate alittle too much... next thing I know up it comes. Yes in moderation it's all good but don't be fooled by the ease it goes down since it is still fiberous it can come back to haunt you!

My diet plan allows mashed sweet potatoes starting day 21.
