I was banded June 25th and was told to stay on a liquid diet for two weeks. Monday will make two weeks but would it be a problem if I hate some soft food tonight like mash potatoes? This liquid diet is killing me. Thinking two days wouldn't hurt.

I had mine on the 25th and I have eaten soft foods with no problem. I kept reading that the first week you shouldn't be hungry. NOT! My stomach was growling and being hungry was making me angry. I've eaten fish, soup, etc. with no problems.

Thanks, I think I will try some potatoes tonight.

I would make sure the potatoes are really creamy and not too thick though!

I had surgery same day. I have only had a 1/4 cup Fage plain Greek yogurt. I was also hungry. The yogurt is a good protein source and helped with the hunger. Broth is helpful too

No, I don't think having mashed potatoes now is a good idea. One of the #1 causes of band slips is the patient's failure to follow the post-op eating progression (liquids, purees, soft, solid).
