My nutrionist said it was ok to eat soft mushy foods after my one week followup but she said that it had to be measured.............So, I understand the Sugar free jello and pudding however with the pudding and other soft food items I was told to add 1/4 of powdered protein. Excluding actual meat, egg and nut products......

The first thing I ate after the broth and water was Lime Jello which was on Friday then Sunday, I had lowfat greek yogurt with 1/4 scoop of unflavored protein powder. I had 1/4 cup of Tuna(packed in water) for lunch with a table spoon of baked sweet potato on Tuesday then 1/4 cup of Chicken salad (bite size pieces for chewing)

I am currently one week post op and my nutritionist said that I could eat mushy foods in the serving size of 1/4 cup such as yogurt (Greek Lowfat), applesauce, mashed potatoes, tuna, chicken salad and sweet potatoes however everything is on a schedule alternating every 4 hours with 8oz protein shakes. I go back in 4 weeks to have my band filled then I am on soft mushy foods for the next week or so....... You will be able to tolorate the shakes and other products, I would suggest that you eat slowly and if you can not finish it save it for later. Also I would suggest that you speak to a bariatric nutrionist she will be better able to assist you with your diet.......My doctor gave me a list of foods/drinks to eat also you can go to this link listed below...........http://www.lapbandta...to-eat-post-op/[/url]
