Baked Potato ?

Need to ask my NUT next time I go but Is it bad to eat  it often. I guess I was thinking early on I could have mashed so I assume I can have baked with butter and LF sour cream. I was worried of the carbs.

My NUT said I could have Baked potato, just don't eat the skins.

Depends on what you're looking to get out of it. Good carbohydrates? Sounds good. Low Carb? Bad idea.

honestly dude at a month out, eat what you can tolerate. I'm sure the amount of carbs you eat in a potato (at this point of your post op life) will be minimum because you probably can't eat more then 1/2.

I stayed VERY low carb for most of my early post op life, because I wanted to lose weight fast. I stayed a carb nazis till just about the time I got to goal.

Mix in some cheese to add a little protein and as Scottie said this early out get in what you can tolerate then worry about carbs later.

I will have a baked potato when I go out because I can control the amount of fat I add, not knowing how much stuff they've stirred into the mashed taters.  Usually eat about a fourth to a third of it and take the rest home for future meals.  I'm not anxious to dump if I can help it, so I NEVER use butter on it - but I will cover the tines of my fork lightly with the sour cream on about half the bites, if that many.  Never use more than about an ounce of sour cream, if that much.  It's really amazing that, if you give it a try for a few times, how you can get by without the taste of the added fat - calories that none of us need.
