I was also banded on 9/4. Did the liquids for a day or so an moved on the the blended diet I eat everything (meat and veggies), I just take the cooked food, Water it down with broth and put it in a blender and eat no more than 1/4-1/2 cup about every 2 to 3 hours. For example I had porkchops, spicy roasted chilies, garden tomatoes and green Beans that way a few days ago. Had chili, and chicken pie (sans crust of course) that way as well. I week post op and I am sick of the blended diet and started mushy stuff Example: super-soft scrambled egg/mashed avocado/soft garden tomatoes, also had watermelon and a peach. I never eat until I am full--just sticking to my 1/4-1/2 cup. I do well for Breakfast with a Protein shake (plus frozen fruit--no seeds) or blended oatmeal. lunch I am okay with the blended stuff but dinner, boy of boy I have a 'need' to chew something. I chew until liquid, counting the times I chew. I don't 'feel' anything, should I be concerned? Should I stick 100% to my blended diet. Any advice? BTW--the blended stuff is the way I use to feed my babies when they transitioned from breast milk to solids. I would water down (with broth) all the stuff we ate, such as the meat, starch and veggies, and put it through a blender. I joke with my family that I am on our babyfood diet.
