I HERE SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE SAYING WHEN THEY COULD EAT REAL FOOD LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU COULD!!:hungry:

ive been banded about 3 1/2 weeks i did 10 liq 10 days pureed/soft and now im slowly starting solids and i feel great.

I've been banded 2 weeks, no solids untill week 4. I have cheated, had a few brocolli tops (overcooked) and squash (overcooked)

My post op diet was mushy foods starting week 2, with introduction of some solids. Full solids by week 3.

Tomorrow is 4 weeks! And, I visit my doc/nutritionist on Friday and get to start solids on Friday! WOOHOO

day 15 I was able to start solids I am gald my Dr. did it that way I think that's why I have lost more with solids I am full with just a little 1/2 cup , with mush I was eating 1 1/2 cups of food.:eek:

I started eating real food at 7 days post op. I called my surgeons office for another reason and they said "are you hungry yet?". I said yes and they said to start eating and I did. I think it really helped me to eat. I didn't get so obsessed about food, because I was eating.

I was full liquids for the first week, mushy foods for the second week and was back to mostly solids by the end of the third week. I didn't eat any red meat or bread but my surgery date was 12/28 and for the past week I've been able to eat anything and pretty much as much as I want. Any time I eat less its because of a decision to do so, not because of any restriction! Very frustrating.
