Question about starting pur?e food stage length between bites

So tomorrow it is my one week anniversary since being banded and I get to start puréed food. I'm pretty sure this means I have to start the one bite per 10 minutes and seperating my drinking from eating but just wanted to make sure.

Haven't been hungry at all but I'm looking forward to some yogurt and cottage cheese, god I sound like such a girl.

First, congrats! I think every doctor has different recommendations, but I was instructed to eat a half cup in 30-45 minutes. Sounds kinda crazy but, once you're doing it, it makes sense because you do fill up quicker. Good luck!

I was not told 1 bite per 10 min on pureed but was told no more drinking with meals.

Thanks, I'm going to double check my paperwork to see if it's in there, but was pretty sure I needed to separate the drinking.

My nutritionist said to count to 25 between bites with a small spoon. I guess you just take your pick.

Well so much very even worrying, I openned a choban Greek yogurt and had three spoonfuls in a lite over a half hour and I can't even think about eating another bite right now.
