jjod 197 Posted October 31, 2015 Lisamarie. I think mashed potatoes are off limits for me forever. Wasted carb calories with no Protein. My nutritionist would croak if I asked her that. Plus I want to respect my sleeve and not cheat it. Been thru too much. Why do you even want mashed potatoes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjod 197 Posted October 31, 2015 I'm sick of sweet stuff! I'm looking forward to puréed Beans, eggs, tuna fish. I feel like I can't get anything in and I'm going to end up back in the hospital for dehydration and malnutrition. It's becoming a morbid fear. I just took some liquid Vicodin so that it won't hurt to sip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doggiedaddy 304 Posted October 31, 2015 I ate mashed some mashed potatoes, just to get me thru my week of purees... I'm almost a month out and allowed all foods, so I don't have it now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjod 197 Posted October 31, 2015 My nut is super strict and I hated her at first. But once I lost 40 lbs before surgery I came to respect her. She and the psychologist are more worried about our second year of this journey. The first year is supposedly the honeymoon when weight comes off easily. My husband was sleeved 4 years ago and has gained back 1/3 of his weight. He also breaks mist of my nuts rules, doesn't exercise, log his food or go to support groups. I want to do everything the opposite of his example!!! I want a lifetime of lightness!☺️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dede0314 356 Posted October 31, 2015 I'm allowed mash potatoes. I'm 9 days post op. It isn't something I plan on eating a lot once I'm back on regular foods but it's helping me get through the pureed stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamarie0817 121 Posted November 1, 2015 Protien shakes r starting to get nauseous ugh Sent from my LGMS323 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjod 197 Posted November 1, 2015 I had my surgery on 10/27. Day 6 and I feel fairly normal except for the gassy tummy. Going to stop liquid Vicodin. At our support group, a rep from Bariatric Advantage came to describe their probiotic. I think it's worth a try. Tired of hearing my belly gurgle. It's very loud!!!!!! Can't imagine it gurgling at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't imagine it gurgling at work. I was wondering if a probiotic would help, haven't tried that, & I still have a little problem, not like the first 2 weeks though! Let us know how it works!

jjod 197 Posted November 1, 2015 I would just add plain Unjury to regular chicken broth. I think I will need to add it to everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you even want mashed potatoes?instant mashed potatoes are on my third week list of foods, one of the first soft foods I can eat. I think the reasoning is that there are few truly soft foods to work with and the purpose is to get the digestive track running. Potatoes are NOT a long term option however.
