I was wondering - since everyone's post op diets are so different. How long do people need to wait before moving to a mushie diet.

Thanks

I was allowed to start mushies on day 8, if I were starving, and after a test meal of a scrambled egg. If I could keep it down without any problems at all, I was cleared for mushies. I ate it, it was the best food I ever put into my mouth, so I proceeded on.:frown:

I was banded 04/05/10...I've been on liquid. When can I add a salad. that is all I'm craving.

BTW, I do not have any fill in my band.

No mushy period at all for me - I'm on full liquids for six weeks post-op.

1st week - clear liquids, sf jell-o, sf popsicles

2nd week - full liquids, creamy soups, protein shakes, oatmeal, yogurt, start chewable vitamins

3rd week - soft blended meals, scrambled eggs, pureed chicken, mashed potatoes, soft cooked veggies

4th week to indefinately - soft regular diet

14 days from the day after surgery. That will be Wed for me. I'm a little nervous about it!
