Hi all,

I was banded Tuesday, 7/29. The first day, I was only able to eat liquids, but the second day and on I tried mushies and I was fine (cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding, soft Pasta, cheddar cheese, soft cooked chicken). I have been chewing a ton and not eating nearly the amount I did pre-band. I have lost 9 lbs so far.

My question is: Is it normal to be able to eat these things so soon? I am feeling full quickly, but there is no pain associated with eating small amounts of these types of things. Could I potentially damage myself by eating like this?

Any thoughts are appreciated!

I was banded on July 31st and I stayed on liquids the first 2 days then started with creamed soups, etc. I've had no problems at all. I wasn't sure if this was normal either, but it's working. I've lost 5 lbs so far.
