I had RNY gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago. My program requirements said: instant mashed potatoes were O.K. from the beginning in the Full liquid stage. Normal mashed potatoes were acceptable beginning at week 5 when I entered the pureed food stage.

Thanks so much James! Appreciate the feedback!!

Just a tip--if you make instant mashed potatoes with all milk, instead of Water it will up the Protein amount in them. Unflavored Protein powder also mixes well in them.

I buy those individual cups of dry potato mix that you microwave. One of those makes 2-3 servings for me right now. Personally, I prefer Idahoan brand over Betty Crocker. You can thin them with almond milk, etc. Yummy!

My surgeon only allowed Protein during the puréed stage. I would have love mashed potatoes but I am not allowed to have it.
