Sweet potatoes sound SO good! My phase 2 is full liquids... What was/is your phase 2?

Sweet potatoes sound SO good! My phase 2 is full liquids... What was/is your phase 2?

oatmeal , potatoes , refried Beans.

I guess everyone calls it "mushies" but my paper says phase 2.

I'm starting phase 2 on wednesday and my sister who already had lap band a few years ago said Boston Market was her saviour during this phase haha!! It's weird how the doctors tell us all different stuff..because I was told I couldn't have oatmeal for like a month...I was wondering if beans is considered a "mushy" ..because I like a black bean kind of creamy soup and I'm not sure if thats acceptable during phase 2 or the "mushy phase"

Cream of wheat, cottage cheese, pudding, yogurt, oatmeal, refried beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes or plantains. All of those are phase 2 foods.

The mushie phase list I was given was pretty vague, so I've called my surgeons office a couple of times to ask if certain things were ok. I'm just doing refried canned beans that I've thinned with a couple of drops of Water. I'd say if in doubt call and ask...... that's what your Dr is there for !

Yeah I'm actually going to call in the morning...I'm still going through this dreadful week one phase....one more day one more day!!!!! Haha so over it!

My dr is so strict. You can never have starchy carbs on any phase. Mushies to them consist of plain greek yogurt cottage cheese pureed protein like your lean meats and smashed up vegies. No sugar. Nothing white. No potatoes. I dint think i can follow it that strictly. I can understand strict but this seems extreme. I like a South Beach type if plan. With occasional low carb carbs.

It's amazing how much better you'll feel.

My energy was getting really low on liquids and the day I started with the Beans and potatoes.....I was like brand new ! Imagine how it will be to get some real protien, I am soooo ready for tuna next week

My dr is so strict. No carbs. Ever. Except ehats natural in fruits and non starchy vegies. I plan to modify a little. Like a South Beach type of plan. I cant never have a potatoe or oatmesl agsin. Phase 2 is smashed up lean proteins and vegies and fruit.

It does seem kind of extreme ! I can understand once you have clearance to eat and chew, but on the healing phase which is so restrictive anyway, I can't see being that strict.

There are 470 calories in one serving.... Granted one serving is 7 oz....but just be careful.

At this point my only concern is healing properly and having enough calories to provide energy.

Once I'm cleared to eat and work out I'll become more diligent. I'm just trying to survive right now

I am so excited for mashed potatoes and pudding. I seriously hate everything about week one because I hate the taste of the chicken broth I bought and I hate Jello so just imagine how I've been all week...

. Yes this is a time to heal.... You should be able to have enery, feel satisfied and lose all while healing. You need to start creating good habits.... I was merely pointing out that particular food was high in calories. I am sure you are following g your drs orders... Best of luck to you.
