I'm to start soft foods Wednesday

I'm so Hungary could I try some mash potatoes tonite?

I cheated and started them the day before I was suppose to. Id take a small bite tho. I had a hiatal hernia repair though so it felt like it got stuck and slowly descended into my stomach. It's heavier too, so consider the fact that you'll only need a few spoonfuls.

Mashed potatoes are not anywhere on my list for any of the phases after surgery because they contain no Protein and are slider foods. Something like Greek yogurt would take away that hungry feeling and keep you full.

If you don't start soft foods until Wednesday, then don't start soft foods until Wednesday. Why take the risk? You would probably be alright, but to me a couple of days wouldn't kill you.

By the way, when I had my first follow-up post-surgery nutrition class, everyone who was following their plan was doing great and everyone who wasn't following it were miserable. Coincidence? Maybe. But it made an impression on me.

I couldn't wait to have mashed potatoes once my plan allowed. When I did, it was like I had eaten cement. It is one of the only foods I have had issues with. Overall any kind of starch that contains no Fiber does not sit well in my stomach.

I didn't even have mash potatoes on my list of foods I could eat at any stage!!

I personally wouldn't, the states are there because your stomach is healing internally. It's only a day or two more of the rest of your life, so try and follow the doctors instructions
