Hello!

I am 1 week post-op and had a few questions for all of you out there. I am feeling great! I was told I can start mushies now. Do any of you have some good ideas for food? There are so many variations of the diet after surgery. I am not sure which one is best. I do not get my first fill until June 23 ( 5 weeks post-op). Any helpful suggestions are much appreciated. Have a great 3 day weekend!

The dietician at my surgeon's office said at this stage, I can eat anything that I can easily cut with a spoon. Meat, etc. should be blended. Cottage cheese has been my go-to mushy food. I was banded 5/18 and get my first fill 6/27. I think I'll be more than ready by then. Best wishes as you continue your journey,

I'm a little over a week post-op myself. I've been on mushies for a couple of days and i'm living on cream of wheat, greek yogurt, protein shakes made with the yogurt and protein powder, potato salad (not the best choice but mushy), cream of brocolli soup. I just realized I could have egg drop soup and i'm very excited to try that tomorrow!!

I was banded on the 16th, and I am starting to eat mushies now as well =) I quickly got bored with cottage cheese and mashed potatoes... so I started looking around. Through a Google search, I found another forum with some ideas in it. If you scroll through the postings, there are several mushy food ideas. I haven't gotten to try any of them yet, but I plan to tackle a few of them this weekend. I hope this helps!
