Hi. After a load of issues in my first week and a half doc says I can move into the soft food phase next Wednesday. I am terrified. I have no idea where to start. Can my fellow banders, can anyone give me some coaching and suggestions on what to start with and how much and how often.

My dietician is on holidays and gave me some info.

Do u have any issues with the change in your diet

Thanx guys it so great having someone to share my experiences with.

Sleevers here..if anyone here had a band most have revised to sleeve. Not sure you'll receive many responses since this is a gastric sleeve site. But welcome and good luck. Im sure some of the info here is useful to you as well.

Don't worry, I was afraid too. However, just take one food at a time. Also, I chew like the dickens until it's paste in my mouth. I started with a scrambled egg and a teeny-weeny squirt of PAM. I just chewed each bite thoroughly. It takes me about 30 minutes to eat it and it's very satisfying to eat regular foods again. Also, I bought canned chicken at Costco and blend it with a little bit of lite-mayo. Just remember to chew, wait, chew, wait...etc.
