PROGRESS! Mashed Potatoes!



Recommended Posts

I did have a big win today - I can move to smooth foods :) I immediately went to KFC and got mashed potatoes. Only had maybe one spoonful, but it made all the difference. it tasted absolutely wonderful. I'm looking forward to cottage cheese, yogurt, creamy Soups. I'm taking it very very very slow, but it's nice to have something other than broth and Water.

Consider masked cauliflower s with a splash of milk and a bit of butter instead of potatoes, far less calories and carbs. Same with canned cream Soup. I make cream Soup by cooking a pound of low cal veggies and preening with broth and milk. I decide up into 6oz containers. After heating it (up to 140 degrees or the Protein will clump. I add a scoop of unflavored Protein power mixed with enough warm milk to make it smooth.

You can substitute 1/2 can unsweetened coconut milk for the 1% milk for more fat and a different flavor. ,I like curry coconut

I loved my first spoonful of mashed potatoes too. I will always love them, but now at 4.5 mths I don't really desire them anymore. Strange, but good things are happening!

My NP told me to go to KFC and have mashed potatoes and gravy as my first mushy, too. She said that I could only have them once a week or so and to scrape off more gravy than potato. DELICIOUS. Like you, I could only handle a bit, but it was heavenly after a month of liquids.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
