I was banded on 9/22 and have been on clear liquids since. I was supposed to see the doctor today but he had emergency surgery so it was cancelled. So the nutritionist called later to say I was approved for pureed foods. Got to skip the full liquid only. Yipee!!. However, when I asked her if I should start drinking the whey protein she said I should have been doing that already. When I got home from the hospital I called the nurse and she said not to drink the protein until I saw the doctor. Lack of communication here? Anyway, I had frozen some pureed cream of chicken soup before and had that and some instant mashed potatoes tonight in my baby dish that I can add hot water to to keep food warm and ate it with a baby spoon. I also drank my 42g protein with some crystal lite (both raspberry flavored). I'm going to order a couple cases of that stuff. Hopefully I'll get the rest of my protein in food. Can't do anything with soy and I can't stand yogurt or cheese so it will be a challenge. Any suggestions?:wub:

Ahhh, I remember my first official mushy meal after having been on liquids only for weeks. It was scrambled eggs that my dh made me and they were the most wonderful thing I had thought I had ever eaten.

Have you checked out this thread:
