I just the band on November 9 and my dr is already letting me have mushies,he has been real vague just you can eat soft food come back in amount and we will start fills. Not a lot of info at all.:confused:

Hi Ken. I think your best bet would be to call the doc's office and ask them explicitly.

I started soft food that early. With no fills I doubt as long as you chew good you'll get anything stuck. I never got anything stuck until my band was tight, then you KNOW when it's obstructed believe you me.

I was banded in August and had my third fill yesterday. Last night, I got something stuck and it feels like a heart attack! The pain is something else again. You'll know it if and when you get stuck.

I was banded also on the 9th of November I have yet to have my fill I am hoping that comes in December b/c I dont feel I have any restrictions but I am too scared to test it to see he put me on the mushie stage, my doctor told me I could eat anything I can mush with a fork and put it on a smaller plate of course protein first than vegetables

:confused:
