March 18, 200917 yr Does any one know why you have to advance from a 2 week liquid diet to puree,to soft, to normal? What happens if you go from a 2 week liquid diet straight to a regular diet? will it stretch the pouch and if so how would you know?
March 18, 200917 yr 1. Your stomach is still healing. You have fresh stitches, that can be pulled. You don't want your stomach churning too much early on, and soft food is much easier to digest. 2. Your may still have swelling around the banded area. You run the risk of getting stuck and maybe even pb'ing. Both of these issues can contribute to future slips. Edited March 18, 200917 yr by kiz
