I am curious, how many weeks did you Dr. recommend liquids before mushies before introducing solid foods. My Dr. say 0-2--> 2-4 --> 4+. I just read a book that recommended 1--> 2-->3. I plan to follow my doctors guidelines but I am still curious.

1-3 days post op - Clear Liquids including broth

3-4 days post op - Full Liquids, including shakes, strained creme Soups, yogurt

7-13 days - Bariatric Soft - "Mushies"

Week 3 - Bariatric Regular - add veggies, meats, pork,

Week 4 - Reg lap band Diet

These are the "guidelines" handed to me. Everything is subject to change based upon how I am doing. I am on day #6, start "mushies" tomorrow. Have 1 week surgery follow up visit with Dr. Tuesday.

So to answer your question directly, 1 week before "Mushies"

My progression, was like this

Week 1 - clear liquids - though I was told I could progress to the next stage at day 5 if everything was going ok, so I did

Week 2 - full liquids

Week 3 - purees -

Week 4 - Chopped/Ground consistancy

Week 5 - Regular foods

I've seen on here that a lot of doctors have different schedules, so I'd go by what your doc recommends

My Dr. is sooo weird and I am highly considering ignoring him (which I know everyone on here hates) BUT He says

Week 1 - Clear liquids

Week 2-3 - Clear liquids + milk (I took this to mean things like cream soups and runny yogurt were okay...)

Week 4 - Introduce new foods one at a time.

I am in Week 2 and I am starving! I'm thinking Week 3, I'm going to do some mushies just to survive. He skips the mushie stage - that's weird right?

Week 1 & 2 Clear liquids, which do include Protein shakes.

Week 3 & 4 Everything from weeks 1 & 2 with the addition of creamed soups strained thinned with Water

Week 4-6 while waiting for fill..700 calorie diet prescribed by nutritionist.

Once first fill, liquids for 3 days then my NUT gives me a personalized food plan based only on things I like.

Mine skips mushies too.

For me pretty sure it was

7 days full liquid

10 days pureed food

10 days soft food

then I started real food day 28.

Idk why mine is so different than everyone else but I guess I should be grateful my dr only required 2 days of liquids then starting 3rd day have mushies for 3rd and 4th day then 5th day start regular food. So all mine is done within less a week. Odd I know

Mine was/is:

Day of surgery only water.

Day 1 - Day 4 = Liquid diet (clear liquids and jello)

Day 5 - Day 19 = Full liquids (pudding, tomato soup, cream of wheat soupy, etc)

Day 19 - Day 29 = Mushy food

Day 30 - on = new adventure in healthy choices

My surgeon has his patients do 3 days on each phase of the postop so by 2 weeks we're back on solid foods.

.

Weeks 1-2 Clear liquids (only exception was Protein shakes)

Weeks 2-6 Full liquids- specifically, "nothing thicker than pudding consistancy" (BTW, this was the longest

4 weeks of my life!)

Week 6 First fill. Full liquids x48 hrs, then REGULAR FOOD!!!!!

No "mushies" stage for me either..

This was just about how mine was also but I didn't start regular food until about 12 days post op. The liquid phase only lasted 2 days like yours.
