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?

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.

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...

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!☺️

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.

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.

I know, do you have any of the Unjury chicken broth flavor? It helped me when I got tired of the sweet shakes!

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!

I would just add plain Unjury to regular chicken broth. I think I will need to add it to everything.

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.

What else to eat for 3rd week soft foods besides mash potatoes

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
