Just got my band June 20. Seeing my doctor on the 25 hopefully I can move to mushy food next week because I'm getting hungry! What are some examples of mushy foods?

hey sandra, all dr lists are different. i am on mushies/soft right now. i can have applesauce, pudding, very mashed up tuna w/mayo, oatmeal, grits (last two are very runny) and my fave refried beans w/ff shredded cheese/salsa and mashed potaotes........i am sure there are more but this is what i am having now...i wish you all the luck

I have three post-op diets and each is slightly different. I met with a dietitian twice before surgery who gave me a post-op diet; a different dietician the day of surgery who provided a diet I was to follow; and I have a post-op diet from an Allergan booklet that my surgeon's staff provided during a pre-op meeting. I decided to follow the one that was given to me the day of my surgery because the dietitian stapled her card to it and said I could call her with questions, which I have done.

I've been able to have soft foods on Weeks 2-3. The same types of foods carolinagirl2012 listed. Next week I move to the Week 4 diet, which is a regular low-calorie, portion controlled diet. I can hardly wait!

Hang in there---you will eventually get through this!

Neither dietitian used term "mushy" but rather "soft." I was told to think of the consistency of baby food.
