Im one week post-up and going nuts. Even the baby food looks like the most amazing food ever. How long did you wait until mushies? And how long did the Doc want you to wait? For some, they are 2 diff questions.

Justin, wife's doc had her do two weeks liquids and one week mushies before going on to solid foods. She also does one week of each after every fill. So far, she has had absolutely NO PROBLEMS.

Mine was 2 weeks liquids, 2 weeks mushies, 1 week soft foods and then regular stuff.

Also, 1 day of liquids and 1 day of mushies after each fill

My doctor has me on 3 weeks of liquids, then 3 weeks of soft foods.

I was only on liquids for 2 days and then mushies for 4 weeks. I had no problems.

I'm with you Justin I was banded on Jan 3rd and I am about to lose my mind on the clear liquid diet. My doc only requires me to be on it for 1 week then creamy for 1 week then pureed then to soft normal food. Long road ahead but in the end worth it. I have already lost 11 lbs. But am totally starving!!!!Good luck to you

I did one week of liquids, and 3 weeks of soft foods. The only meat I was allowed was tuna. I could get my first fill at 4 weeks (which I did) - two more days of soft food then on to solids.

Every doc is sooooo different. They are just going with their experience and what they think is best.

Good luck Justin - this too shall pass :eek:

I had surgery yesterday. I am on clear liquids until tomorrow and then full liquids for three weeks and then mushies for three weeks. Right now a nice cup of soup sounds really good.

I was on mushies by week 2...I have had no problems. I was filled for the first time today with no restrictions. Although, I think that I will take it easy for a day or so.
