I am SO excited for the soft food diet that starts tomorrow! :happy dance: Real food...REAL food!!!! :wink2:

I don't want to overdo anything, so every bite is going to count! Just wanted to see what everyone else ate during this phase of their diet. Trying to branch out a little from the few suggestions given by my surgeon. Thanks!

guacamole, applesauce in different flavors, pudding, whipped sweet potatoes, souffle, creamed spinach, mashed winter squash like butternut and acorn, hummus, oatmeal, refried black beans with melted cheese, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, poached tilapia in seasoned chicken broth, egg salad, finely ground chicken salad, pumpkin pie filling made with canned skim milk, peanut butter, yogurt, flan, and mashed bananas. Be creative!!

I also am on soft foods now. I can pretty much have anything except sitting down to a hunk of meat. Which to be honest I am ok with at this point. I do not feel like I am missing anything.

I want to be on your diet! :wink2:

I got my band on 10/10 also and I was told clear liquids 1st 2 weeks, full liquids 2nd 2 weeks then soft foods for the 3rd two weeks. 6 weeks total then go in for a fill/check-up. I certainly wasn't being as creative as Aubrie though. I was thinking more along the line of Gerber lol.

Bikini are you on soft foods or mushies???

It says "soft food diet" in my book. Not sure if that includes mushies.

It's the "pureed" stage! Yay! I just read that.

I'm confused about fish? I don't see how that is part of the puree diet, but I always see people talking about it in that stage, why is that?

my follow up food plan is similar to yours.... clear liquids first week or 2 then, full liquids 2nd - 3rd week, then soft foods.

Hi guys, i got banded on 10/10 too and my doctor said clear liquids for the first week and then full liquids (milk and such) for the next two, and then week three i can start my mushies..i guess mashed up or 'baby' food. After THAT im supposed to start my soft foods. Am i doing it wrong? Can we start mushies earliar?? Im only 6 days post op and im STARVING. Can someone advise?

I just read that I need to do 2-3 days on only five soft foods. Yogurt, Beans, Eggs, Puddins and Cottage Cheese. On the third day I can come back to this thread and move to pureed protein! Yay! (and kinda gross!)
