I am currently 10 days post op and still on the liquid diet I started 2 weeks prior to surgery. I have my 2 week post op appointment this Thursday where I will be transitioning to mushies for 2 weeks then after my 1 month post op I will be transitioning to solids.

My problem is that I cook daily for my boyfriend and while I am cooking I taste the food to make sure that it tastes okay.

Nothing has ever gotten stuck, I haven't gotten sick as I do not have any restriction and am supposed to be filled at 6 weeks post op.

I've asked my doctor and he has not given me any justification only saying that it will help me lose more weight, which does not make sense as I have PCOS and it does not matter when I eat as much as how my body processes what I eat.

I curious to know why we have to do this transitioning 2 weeks liquid-2 weeks Mush-then solids. Does anyone know? Will my band be affected if I move to solids early?:confused2:

Oh I am sorry I should have said I feel like I am not full I go to my doctors on the 17th of Sept and then they set up for my fill my first fill. I just am afraid I am doing something wrong. I am always hungry at work, I do follow how much I am to eat....but I never feel the full feeling and I always wonder is it still in there. I don't know I am nervous about it. I weigh my food out all the time, but I am eating now normal done with the food processor. But I still measure my food together....I am not to go over 1 cup and 1/2 but I don't go over 1 cup. I drink my shakes twice a day still sugar free jello and pudding.....I have tasted brownies just a lick or two.....but I always think maybe I am eating too much and can the band slip then what happens....I think I am going nuts. lol I just can't wait to go get filled and feel full finally

I promise, you are just fine.:thumbup:

At one point or another most all of us have been through or are going through. Hopefully they will do a fluro for your first fill so that you can see for yourself that the band is just fine. Just don't get your expectations up too high for your first fill you may not really feel it until after a couple fills.

Oh thank you thank you lol :thumbup: I have been driving myself insane. I heard that before to about the first fill.. I have to have an ultra sound done for my first fill and drink some bad tasting stuff. I really can't wait. Thanks so much you just don't know....well maybe you do lol

After surgery, my Dr. requires 24 hours on liquids, 2 weeks on pureed, 2 weeks on soft solid stage and after 1 month you may begin the regular stage. After a fill its liquid for 24 hours, pureed for 24 hrs, soft for 24 hours and back to regular. I was told by my nutritionist that I could buy Wendy's chili and puree it for my pureed stage and I have and it's delicious. She also said we can puree chicken salad.

After mine I had one week liquids....2-3 weeks mushy then 2-3 weeks on lumpy, but last week I slowly started just cutting food up really small and I have been fine. I guess I will find out about what I do for the fill

I notice allot of people on here are different with what each surgeon does.

He said by the time I come to see him for my appt which is in a week I should be eating regular. Which I have started, but really small, just not lumpy. Mostly veggies and shakes, mashed potato, eggs, Jello and pudding (sugar free) and some chicken and turkey.

It just makes me nuts not knowing whats going on insdie of me. But you helped allot and this website does allot I am so glad I came across it
