how long did everyone have to wait until eating mushies? My dr. says two wks. Just wondering if anyone ate mushies earlier. Thanks!

My doctor says 2 weeks as well. I've been handling everything that I've tried quite well so far, so I'm looking forward to giving pureed food a whirl, but I'm trying to be patient. At least on my doctor's "full liquid" portion of the diet, I am permitted runny hot cereal (I like Mother's Oat Bran) and nonfat cottage cheese. So, I sometimes feel as though I'm almost eating "real" food.

Mine says no mushies until after 4 weeks

My Dr. also says 4 weeks. But to tell you the truth, Im ok with it. Sometimes the full liquids are too heavy for my sleeve right now. So on my one month anniversary I will celebrate with some mashed potatoes

My doctor had me slowly introducing mushies during week three, but I really didn't get the hang of it until week four. Meaning: in the beginning it took me 45 minutes to eat a single poached egg, then two weeks later I can eat it in 20 minutes. I slipped in a few mushies during week two, but like one tablespoon a day of yogurt or cottage cheese.

I was on mushies/puree/soft proteins, as tolerated, from the hospital on out. Lots of variations in programs out there.

Mine said 2 weeks as well
