Tommorow will be my second week of being banded my doctor instruction says for me to continue on kinda of a liquid diet???? yogurts,oatmeal,pudding ,shakes ,thick Soups???

But I have been reading post and for others second week is the mushie stage? really confused any suggestions im scarreed that if i do mushie food like mashed potatoes i will make a mistake

Think of it as two weeks behind you! I would ask your MD how to proceed

Every dr is different so you should follow your DR. advice. Mine said 2nd week was just thicker liquids like shakes and yogurt etc

I'm on my 2nd week, I'm on puree, I've been having oatmeal, chili, tuna, egg salad, nothing has made me sick. I wouldn't try anything not mushy though...

If you can have oatmeal I'd imagine you could do like chili or something? Think easy to chew if you have to at all, and will digest easily

My second week I was allowed to move to full liquids like tomato soup; and continued protein shakes. I did not move to scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese until week 3.

Sounds good thanks for the advice of course I felt a bit nervous don't want nothing to get stuck:)

What type of chili do you do?

Yea I'm too scared to try something crunchy or more solid like a chicken breast or cracker

Tomorrow I start week two and I'll be having oatmeal! Gosh, I want food so bad but I too will stick with very soft foods for at least two more weeks.

I was told to not do anything crunchy until after my first fill. I'm on purees after 1 week of general liquids. I've had tuna and I pureed some lentil Soup and put some chicken breasts in it, it was really good.

I ate about a 1/2 cup (maybe 3/4 of a cup) of the soup, a pudding cup and about 1/2 a cup and peas and I tell you I feel like I ate a full Thanksgiving meal, I feel guilty like I cheated, but I didn't. Who knew that little bit of food could do so much.

I was banded on 12/15 and the first thing I ate after my 7 days of liquids was mashed potatoes. I didn't get sick or anything. In fact, it tasted like the best meal of my life! Lol!

Follow your doctors orders. Period.

I would call and ask. The paper doesnt list every single food ya know?
