Seven months post op & I'm down about 80 pounds. I've noticed that I'm not dropping as much weight but my sizes are down, which is expected. Walking & portion control is my main focus. About a month ago I noticed problems processing potatoes... Mashed, in soups, baked, etc. When I was on puree mashed potatoes were a major item for me then. A few days ago for thanksgiving I tried again & it was fine. What's the deal? And we're talking same format & very little seasoning so I can't say it's a difference between when I can & can't. Anyone else experience these issues or is my sleeve so picky? Also even as clear liquid diet I never could keep drinking the same thing. If I try eating the same things now... Leftovers or drinks, besides water, I gag & get the urge to regurgitate.

I never met a potato that I didn't like! Since surgery almost a year ago (12/23/2013) I have to ration my potato consumption just like other starches......I keep it at one serving a week. I hate that, but carbs are the devil for me. If I go over 40, I will not lose any weight for the next three days. Sad but true. I was sick for a couple of days earlier in the month and made some home-made potato Soup.......so delicious. But I used to be able to eat beyond reason, and this time I made and ate one serving, about 2/3 cup. My taste buds were not done, but Miss Tummy was and she is the boss of me!
