Is anyone eating mashed rice or potatoe on puree stage?

[ssbills 13]

Nothing is satisfying me and I feel full it's just weird and frustrating

I ate neither on puree stage. I'm on soft foods now, and I had 1 tablespoon of mashed potato one night...but at this point, I barely eat enough to get my Protein in so I really try to not eat anything that doesn't have protein.

I was told by my NUT, not to eat rice or mashed potatoes. The first thing I had was mashed potatoes and they were yummy.

Then I ate refried Beans.

But I was told to stay away from those types of carbs because you will not maximize your potential for weight loss.

During the puree stage, I had cream of chicken Soup, cream of mushroom and having it blenderized.

I know it is tempting, but try to avoid those two fer sure!

Rice will swell up in your tummy after eating it, so keep that one to a minimum

I have a hard enough time getting my Protein and Water in to worry about taking in any carbs of any kind. I'm 4 weeks out now and get to have SOFT FOODS this week!!!! YAY!

You said nothing 'satisfies' you but you feel full? That sounds like head hunger and not real hunger. Try pureeing some more substantial things... I LOVE refried Beans. And, another trick my nutritionist told me -- with the plain, fat free Greek yogurt, mix some sugar-free Jello in there. Gives you a little taste of the fruit without adding any sugars or carbs.

My dietitian says potatoes are ok, regular and sweet. I can eat half a small baked potato (mashed up really good) with no problem.

My Nut gave me the OK for potatoes, so a couple of times I've eaten about 1/3 of a potato mashed with some cottage cheese. However, I will say that the day after I enjoy this treat, I seem to be hungrier than usual. Not sure if its all psychological or what but I think I will stay away from the 'taters for a while

i am allowed mashed potatoes with cheese (for some protein) on my puree phase which begins in 9 days. no rice though. my nut was insistant that rice be avoided for at least 6 months and then, only have about 1 tbsp for a serving.

I'm supposed to avoid mashed potatoes forever , according to my NUT. I have tried them though. A few spoonfuls is all I can do or my tummy starts to.cramp. I am 9 months post op.

I added Unjury unflavored Protein Powder to mashed potatoes.

Im past the puree stage but I used to mix mashed potato with my Protein and it only took a few bites to satisfy my appetite

I tried instant mashed potatoes earlier this week. I put a full scoop of iso pure unflavored Protein powder which thined them out quite a bit. I put a small amount tarragon, garlic salt and pepper . They were amazing. By day three I ate about 3/4th of a cup with no ill side effects. I think the thin consistency help digest things quicker.
