I was banded on March 9th and also had hiatal hernia repair. My recovery was great, first 2 days a bit slow but after that was great. I was back to work in a week and had no pain, I can't believe it. I am having a hard time now with eating, just nervous and afraid I will do something wrong. I can have pureed foods (mushy) and am afraid I will over eat. I feel like I am playing the mental game. Anyone else feel that way?

I am about 2 1/2 weeks post op and having mushy, pureed foods. I am having anxiety about eating, I am so afraid I am doing things wrong??? I find I keep going back to liquids b/c it feels safe. I did have 1 cup of a protein drink then 1/2 cup of sweet potatoes for supper tonight, was that ok to have had a protein drink first? I just wanted to be satisfied for several hours. Any input would be so helpful. thanks
