I found that mashed potatoes are my go-to food. I have taken a bite or two of a few different items but it seems like after a long day a nice little bowl mashed potatoes is just perfect. Another thing that I am discovering I really like is hot tea I was a huge sweet tea drinker before my surgery, but now I really enjoy a cup of hot tea one every few days it just seems to make my stomach feel great. Anybody else have any go-to foods or drinks that they want to share?

Mine was mashed potatoes as well, but by week three, it caught up to me and caused me to have a 3 week stall from week 3 to week 6. Per my surgeon's office, my body held on to those potatoes like I was in a third world country. Once you can add more foods, definitely wean off of them. I will be two months out on Sept 2nd, my go toos are tuna and baby bel cheese! If I need a snack, which I try not to, but I grab a baby bel light. congrats on your surgery!!!

ps. the mashed potatoes were on my plan per my doctor

Mashed are on my never list. My Dr spent a Sunday doing emergency surgery for mashed potatoes that blocked. Can have them baked when I go to soft foods

I can understand that. It was almost like a gateway food for me. I was allowed mashed potatoes at week 3, then I kept eating them and plateaued. Now I stick to a lower carb diet and don't even look at them. Crazy how everyone's meal guidelines are so different.
