I am 3 weeks as of yesterday. My dr approved soft foods after week 2. I wouldn't see why it would hurt to sample a couple favorites. Just nothing too hard (like nuts or raw veggies). Oh, and you said mash potatoes, does your dr allow that? Mine said no white potatoes, white rice or white Pasta for a YEAR! I can't imagine one bite or two would hurt though. post-306277-1479856487992_thumb.jpg

You should still be on soft foods. You should be able to smash with a fork. Same rules about Protein first. At least 60-70 grams a day. 64 oz. of Water and take your Vitamins. Don't rush the breads and crackers and carbs. They slow weight loss. Don't try to cheat. We didn't go through all this to end up the same way as we began. You can do this! Surgery will give us that brand new healthy life we dreamed about, if we let it! ????

I will be 5 weeks out on Friday. I was allowed to eat pureed foods post op wk1 and soft foods week 2 & 3. I hit a stall on wk1..and now I'm stalled again...it's a bit discouraging considering people lose what I did in a wk vs my month????. I'm eating clean and supplementing with 1 shake a day to make goal. Usually along the lines of grilled chicken and steamed veggies. I can get about 2 oz of Protein and 1.5 oz per meal. Best of luck on your journey!

@@red67stang I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't allowed mashed potatoes. ???? I'm almost 4 months post-op and still have hard days, but my sleeve will only hold so many different foods, one being mashed potatoes.

I'm in week 5 now. The biggest change for me is my Dietitian said to wean myself off Protein shakes and focus on getting my protein from food. So I'm mostly having Greek Yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero) for breakfast. lunch is chili- I make it in the crockpot on Sundays and measure out a cup to take to work every day. So far I've made a turkey chili with Beans and a green chili with pork. Snacks are lunch meat, string cheese, or a babybel cheese. For dinner I try to experiment with new foods. My dietitian said to try EVERYTHING. Believe it or not- potatoes AND bread are on my plan, as long as the bread is toasted. My Dietitian even said to try thin crust pizza with a lot of meat toppings, and it worked well for me. But most nights I do some sort of protein- Turkey burger, baked tilapia, or steamed salmon. I'm not doing many veggies yet outside of what I throw into my chili.

I'm 5 weeks out too. Worst experience was a week ago with chicken. Think I ate too fast. Won't do that again in a hurry!!! Wow!

Easiest Proteins are minced meats. Had minced turkey last night and it went down very nicely.
