Starches were part of the diet from the beginning, e. g. carrot or potato Soups and in the mushy phase mashed potatoes.

However, diets vary not only from country to country but also from hospital to hospital sometimes.

I have had 2 dumping experiences both with foods that were suppose to be healthy. With my Protein goals to meet first and then veggies and some fruit , I don’t have much more room for starchy stuff... I try to use food as medicine. If there was a quota for unhealthy food I think I hit that amount 20 years ago.. Pasta, bread , potatoes even sweet potatoes I know I can get pretty obsessed about so I haven’t tried them , not just to avoid not feeling good but if what I am doing now is getting to my goals I’m not trying anything different.. will I incorporate some of my favorite stuff down the line at maintenance, not sure yet. My daughter had the sleeve and she looks amazing and eats everything in moderation so I know it’s possible... I’m just to anxious to fail to risk going back to triggers foods and I may not ever be able to and that’s ok. I feel satisfied with what I get to eat.

Thank you guys all for each of your feed back! I was curious because every surgeon has its own stages .. I am 4 months post op and haven’t had no starches at all or nothing starchy .. on my surgeons book it tells me to start incorporating starches till 6 months post op or till about 75% excess body fat is off

      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.
