I had my surgery on the 12th I am already down 23lbs, I have a little pain but I am doing a good job. I am now on my full liquid diet. I am allowed cream soups and puddings and baby food but I was wondering am I allowed mashed creamy potatoes... My doctor was Dr Chen in az he did an amazing job he said my surgery was beyond amazing that I followed my liquid diet without a doubt. Feels good anyway just wanted to know if I could have creamy mashed potatoes. Good luck to the rest of you...

I personally focused on foods that had a high protein content. I have only had mashed potatoes once since my surgery on May 23rd. I am ever vigilant about eating foods that got me into this condition, so I decided that potatoes were a once in a blue moon luxury. Congrats on your successful surgery. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions closely!

Keep up the good work

Congratulations. I was sleeved on the 10th and I'm still on the liquid part of the diet until Tuesday. The guide I got from the nutritionist says that potatoes boiled and mashed with skin removed are allowed in the second stage. And while yes this isn't a protein packed food it is a food I can enjoy with my family and they'll finally feel a little more normal with me. I don't plan on having it every single day but occasionally yes I will enjoy a tiny boiled mashed potato.

My nurse actually TOLD me to go to KFC and buy mashed taters and gravy on my way home from my three week appointment when she released me to mushies. She said not to make a habit, but that they would taste great after all the sweet shakes and it would give me an idea of how much I could eat. They are low fat and with gravy, very loose.

Check with your doctor, though!

My nut told us to make instant mashed and add fat free powdered milk to boost protein. You could also add unflavored protein powder to them.

Thank you all so much, ya my family were having steak and veggies and potatoes and I was like well potatoes have the texture like baby food so why not haha but I didn't try any ill talk to my doc on my post op appointment even though by then I can eat whatever I want well you know solids lol... How is everyone feeling.
