Mashed potatoes were fine (on my program) at this stage. But I was told to avoid rice since it could swell in the sleeve...

my plan doesn't allow starchy carbs, like potatoes, rice, bread and Pasta, until at least 6 to 8 months post-op...I did, however, eat some watermelon at about a month out and should have waited another month...I also ate some almonds around that same time and should have waited a few more weeks...both foods gave me stomach issues after eating just a small quantity...but at 3 months post-op now, there isn't anything I've tried--including salad--that has given me digestive issues....all that being said, the best advice I can give, though, is to try to follow your NUT's or doctor's plan as closely as possible in these early stages

I keep trying potatoes but still a no go in any form and I am 4+months out.

I had real mashed potatoes at about 3-4 weeks. It was all I could keep down...all tablespoon of it. But haven't had any since then because I know it gives me heartburn.

Yeah I'm guilty of doing that and no I wouldn't recommend others try their luck. i had chili about 5 days before I should have. It went down okay (I had about a 1/4 cup) but it could have gone badly.

Do what your doc days!

I made potato Soup tonight and thinned it out a bunch with skim milk. I guess I ate to fast/ to much/ maybe to early for my body. i only ate maybe 1/3-1/4 of a cup. But now I feel like I have something that comes up in my throat. I can't throw it up so I am praying that it goes down soon. I am scared that I might have hurt my staple line?? I am 6 days post op and like I said thinned cream Soups were on the list maybe potato soup isn't in that group... Help

I think it is normal and you ate too fast. I have that too (feeling it in my throat)but no pain. I am eating too quick and when I slow down this doesn't happen. I am 15 days post-op. Happens too when I moved to pureed the first couple if meals.
