By the time you mush up all those potatoes they are pretty much liquid by the time they get to your stomach so they fill up your small intestine then your stomach and then they can also move up your asopagast(spelling?) anyway to make it short a cup of mashed patatoes at one setting should be sufficient eat slow and don't drink with them.

The issue is not the mashed potatoes. This issue is - while you're eating those mashed potatoes,are you getting your protein. In order to maximizeyiur weight loss, you must eat protein! The potaotes and other things should be after thoughts. Work on your water and protein. Good luck, Nancy.

You can eat a bowl of them because they are mushy and go right through you. It's like soup, cottage and riccotta cheeses, etc... Anything with a soupy, mushy consistency with go through quicker and you be able to eat more of it. Mashed potatoes really don't have much nutritional value for us (protein). This is not something that I choose to eat that often. It's high in calories, I can eat a lot of it and it doesn't have protein. In the beginning I ate it somewhat because it was one of the few things I could eat. Now that I can eat anything, I try to stick to foods that take a lot to break up (chicken, fish, veggies) because they keep the tummy distended longer, and keep you satisfied. Also, as others have said, try to limit carbs (Not get rid of them completely) because they do slow us down!
