I'm not allowed potatoes or porridge on soft foods and wasn't on purees either - need to focus on Protein (meat, fish, eggs, cheese, dairy, Beans, tofu, soy) and then to the extent you have any room after eating a couple ounces of protein, cooked green veggies or soft fruits.

But that's my surgeon's program -- what did your surgeon outline for you?

I would guess that if you are getting bad cramps and then running to the bathroom when you eat you may very well be eating too fast. But again, I would check with your medical team -- I am a random stranger on the internet and not exactly a health care professional.

Dumping a lot is not normal. Please work with your surgical team. Avoid hash browns because of the fat, for now...

Get some G2 into your system or you will end up dehydrated and on a drip at the hospital...Try some yogurt and cottage cheese ( creamed )...If that is still too hard...switch to some pudding for a bit.....not the best idea but your not getting any nutrients by dumping......

I agree with the others. Starches this early on may not be a good idea and they don't help you reach mandatory Protein goals. Switch to pureed Proteins and see if it helps. If not go see your doctor.
