Band slipped, complete unfill, diet questions

Hey everyone!
I've had my band for a year now, and after the past two months of struggling with it.. .I finally went to see the Dr. The x-ray techs were not in that day, but based on my symptoms (vomiting up everything for 2-4 days, then being able to eat a normal meal) the nurse thought I had a slip. So she removed all the liquid from my band. I believe I had 6.4 ccs in a 10 cc band. I could definitely feel the soreness at the top of my stomach for a day or two after the unfill.
My question is this:
People that have been in the same boat as me, what kind of diet did your doctor ask you to follow? I have the diet plan my dr recommended which seems strange to me in a sense.
Week 1--liquids only, except high Protein Greek yogurt (that stuff is super thick!), no soft mushy stuff, no blended Soups... .weird
Week 2-- mushies--chicken salad, tuna salad, scrambled eggs, etc
Week 3--solids
Just looking for some other input. I am currently still in week 1 with the liquid phase and am definitely eating blended soups, because its still thinner than the yogurt.
Thanks,
Lisa
