What's wrong with the carbs in potatoes? They're the good, complex kind like what's in pasta. The kind that give you crazy amounts of energy. The kind that runners eat before a marathon. In large amounts they're going to be pointlessly slowing down your loss, but it isn't like we can eat a great deal of them. And while I agree that in the early post-op stages you aren't going to be doing a whole lot of anything to burn the carbs, long-term I don't see anything "bad" about them.
