Mandy124<3 0 Posted February 8, 2013 I am just a little shy of 2 weeks out surgery was on 1/28/13 and just started my soft foods today. I was wondering when it was acceptable to start eating mashed potatoes? It doesn't specify them in my post op diet. Advice please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tawnie 99 Posted February 8, 2013 I was allowed as soon as my nut progressed me to purée . I just thinned them out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bethxxx 304 Posted February 8, 2013 I had mashed potatoes 2 weeks out, my dietician said you have to make them with extra milk so that they aren't to stiff but they were yummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No game 14,437 Posted February 8, 2013 It depends on who you ask! I do very low carb! But in that early stage iI had some mashed potatoes because you eat barely ANYTHING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveNZ 219 Posted February 8, 2013 At this stage Protein should be your main goal .... don't waste space with food that does absolutely nothing for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuliannaJ 83 Posted February 8, 2013 Mashed / puréed sweet potatoes are better than white potatoes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted February 8, 2013 Protein at this point comes mainly from the Protein shakes. Very little will be consumed from "food" in the first two weeks. Yes, after that, Protein first is something I live by. I do not do many carbs (25 or so) . But not everyone does it the same, some just do moderation of "regular" foods and stand by that way of life, and still lose.. I do not like speaking in absolutes everyone's plan is different !!
