Yucca!

[sarahbethemails 68]

Are we allowed to eat this puréed or even after?

I'm not a bypass patient but eating yucca would be like eating mashed potatoes. They are pretty starchy with little to no Protein.

What do your post-op instructions say about potatoes?

I did not know what Yucca was, so thank you to the previous poster! Potatoes are not a great source of Protein, but they were a favorite "go-to" of mine when I was in that stage. It was one of the few things I could get when my family and I went out to eat. So, I would say short term to help you get through the stages yes, but not long term just because there have little to no nutritional value.

I ???? yucca. I won't eat a whole lot of it. But I do have it. With bacalao. Or I even have the yucca thai drinks.

My nut said I could eat mashed potatoes while advancing my diet. I definitely had some starchy things during the mushy phase, but the quantities were not very large. I mainly has either sweet or regular potatoes mashed. Now I am trying to limit carbs. High Protein foods really help control my awakening appetite better.
