Yay... band buddies! Have you noticed that everyone else's post-op diets are a lot more restrictive? I'm the type to get paranoid about that kind of thing, so it's worrying me. Like you, I started soft/canned foods yesterday, and I feel awesome so far, but I'm afraid that my band is going to slip despite all my fervent chewing!
Where did you get banded? Your instructions sound just like mine... I was banded by Dr. Smith in Fort Worth on 3/17. Congratulations on your loss so far!
