Recommended Posts

I am just a little shy of 2 weeks out surgery was on 1/28/13 and just started my soft foods today. I was wondering when it was acceptable to start eating mashed potatoes? It doesn't specify them in my post op diet. Advice please

I had mashed potatoes 2 weeks out, my dietician said you have to make them with extra milk so that they aren't to stiff but they were yummy.

It depends on who you ask! I do very low carb!

But in that early stage iI had some mashed potatoes because you eat barely ANYTHING :)

At this stage Protein should be your main goal .... don't waste space with food that does absolutely nothing for you.

Mashed / puréed sweet potatoes are better than white potatoes

Protein at this point comes mainly from the Protein shakes. Very little will be consumed from "food" in the first two weeks.

Yes, after that, Protein first is something I live by. I do not do many carbs (25 or so) .

But not everyone does it the same, some just do moderation of "regular" foods and stand by that way of life, and still lose..

I do not like speaking in absolutes everyone's plan is different !! :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
