Pureed Red Potatoes?

[NervousNancy 3]

This Friday I think my doctor is going to switch me to puréed foods. At least I hope so, cause I'm starving. I had my surgery Oct 24, so no fills yet. Has anyone tried puréed potatoes or mashed potatoes? I was just talking on the phone with a friend who got the sleeve and she says her stomach totally rejects mashed potatoes because they're too heavy. I went to the store and bought red potatoes, sweet potatoes and vegetarian refried Beans. All in preparation for Friday. Any other puréed food suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm a total newbie. I don't even fully understand the whole fill thing yet.

Potatoes are nearly all carbohydrates and Beans offer you some Protein. I recommend the Beans over potatoes. Beans are much lower on the glycemic index and offer more satiety for a longer period of time than a potato. Potatoes are nearly as lethal as fructose when it comes to the GI and how they are absorbed in our stomach.

I also liked to eat egg drop Soup.

I can eat potatoes just fine, but that being said, they are discouraged by my nutritionist because the nutritional content is just not there. Try pureed protiens before you eat pureed starches for the best outcome!

chili and refried Beans are good. eggs, oatmeal, smashed up tuna fish. but your doctor will likely give you a list of food. my doctor did. i remember my first chili after being on liquids for so long. man were they good. i had them in a little measuring cup and i actually licked the measuring cup. my hubby just stared at me lol. man were they good.
