Recommended Posts

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

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.

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 :)

At this stage Protein should be your main goal .... don't waste space with food that does absolutely nothing for you.

Mashed / puréed sweet potatoes are better than white potatoes

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 !! :)
