Can have puree. I can eat around 1.5 cup of mash potatoes. Is that too much ?

Talk to doc but when I did mash potatoes that early out I would be sick. Do like canned tuna with light mayo and quarter of a cup. Maybe mashed sweet potatoes and quarter of cup. Many carbs in a cup and a half of potatoes. Just my opinion. Check with doc and nutritionist.

My weight loss guide says 1/2 to 1/4 cup of food in the puree stage.

Only you and your health care professionals can determine what is too much for you. That said, I wasn't allowed to eat more than 3 tablespoons of food per meal while on purees, and not allowed potatoes at all (only high Protein foods). So for me, personally, the idea of eating 1.5 cups of mashed potatoes now, let alone so soon after surgery, has me pretty much recoiling in horror.

I'm actually on soft food phase but I still have purees. I was told to have red potatoes and

Add a bit of unflavored Protein Powder . Today I was busy and the mash potatoes is all I ate I never eat more than a few tablespoons but I guess I was hungry.

At 10 weeks out, I still couldn't eat a cup and a half of food at a meal. Maybe 1/2 cup (quarter cup or 2-3 ounces of a Protein, and a 1/4 cup side dish...veggies or cottage cheese...and generally there's food left on my plate.)

It's between you and your surgeon and NUT what and how much you're eating, but my insides kind of cringed at even the thought of that much food. Nevermind that potatoes are a very much sometimes food (I've had them once. My NUT recommended avoiding them altogether.)

I meant 1/2 cup not 1 and 1/2

Okay, that makes much more sense!
