Are you still on full liquids? Can you wait to call your surgeon on Monday and ask? I know they will give you the go ahead a lot of times if you ask. What about Soup? Are you allowed that yet? Maybe it will satiate you until you are allowed to move on to the next stage.

In my second week I was on full liquids, and I had mashed potatoes because I made them really soupy and no lumps or anything! So it was basically like a liquid, right? If you are on full liquids I'd maybe try cream of potato Soup in a blender though, slightly safer! Just my two cents though!! And don't worry, I'm a couple weeks you'll forget all about this agony, I'm almost four weeks now and that is but a distant memory ???? hang in there!!

Call your nutritionist before changing your diet. I had 2 weeks of full liquids. What got me through was using the unflavored Protein powder and adding it to broth or Soup with no chunky bits. I was able to still meet my Protein needs and stay on track. It was a welcome change from milk based, sweet shakes.

Mash potatoes were allowed on the soft food stage, but I never ate them since it's all carbs, no protein. I could only eat 2 ounces so I wanted to make sure every bite counted.

I did 7 days clear and now I'm on day 7 of 14 full liquids. I cant stand Jello anymore or Soups and now kinda gag at the shakes too. Just asking.

Which unflavored protein powder did you use? I'm researching for my surgery in July.

My surgeon only required 7 days of liquids. I had mashed potatoes with melted cheddar cheese on my 8th day, added milk to make it a little runny, and didn't have any problems. I even told him and he said that was fine, as long as it's runny. I only had about 2 tablespoons and felt full.

I love love love pureed cauliflower, with plain greek yogurt mixed in and shredded cheese (& garlic and chopped onion and crumbled bacon) I made the best loaded baked cauliflower ever, and it saved me during those days. Tastes just like loaded baked potato!! If you can't have the bacon, just pick it out. But it flavors the cauliflower very well!! You can google the recipe, it's a pretty popular recipe.

My surgeon had mashed potatoes on my list of pureed foods which I was allowed to have anytime after day 3.

You'll be fine. I ate them only until I could handle other foods because in the grand scheme of things mashed potatoes are not a great food option... but when you're dying for some real food I am sure you will tolerate them just fine.
