I say ask Amy. You don't want to delay your surgery because you ate something you shouldn't have. I am kind of thinking it's probably okay............I mean, if cream soups that are strained are okay, gravy should be okay too. That sounds good too! 
Oh wow, I just realized you're only a week away from surgery! Yeah, Jenn!

Ok...so I called Amy and she said the potatoes were ok as long as the gravy (if you chose to use gravy) is fat free and low cal. Also I'm glad I called her because I figured out I'm not getting enough calories in...which is why I only lost half a pound when I weighed in thIs week (which really made me mad by the way!!!) ok so good info to know. Today I pureed chicken and dumpling soup at lunch and that was ok. I bought some other kinds to try also. It is getting easier! Only 6 more days to go!!! I can't believe it!!!!!!

Hi Jenn,
Glad it's getting easier and that you talked to Amy. I think fat free/sugar free/low cal is the key and of course, liquid! I have been hungry lately and not sure why. I think my body is getting used to fewer calories and my metabolism is speeding up...........doesn't that sound healthy?
I honestly think I'm having "head hunger" and I hate it.
Only five more days now until your surgery day since today is almost over. I am so excited and happy for you. I can't wait to hear all about your experience. I pray you will have no pain and your recovery will be a breeze!
Keep posting and focus on the moment.
