Did any of you move to mushy food after a week? If so, what went down the easiest? I'm craving cheese of all things!!!

My post - op diet put me on mushies or what they called pureed food from 3 days out until 4 weeks out. I would follow the plan that the doctor gives you but if you are allowed mushies there are tons of things you can eat. One of my favorite was veggie refried beans with a tiny bit of cheese and fat free sour cream melted over it. Another favorite withe cheese was spagetti sauce and ground turkey put through the food processor with parm. cheese on top.

Follow your doctor's orders. Its really important.

I was banded on 12/19 and am supposed to be on clear liquids for 14 days. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle that and sure enough I was right. I added yogurt, pudding, soup, and cream of wheat on my own. I DO NOT believe in lowering the caloric intake to that extreme. It raises havoc with your metabolism and I can't live that way. I try a little of something new and see how it goes down. That's my suggestion. If a teaspoon of something new doesn't go down well, then don't continue. Good luck.
