Post surgery diet is strickly liquid for four to six weeks! I know I can eat soft mushies but the doctor said I can't. I had some soft foods on my son's birthday, but didn't over do it. I was very careful with portions and type of foods and chewed it well. Then went back on liquids again the day after. But prior to the party I felt I hit a plataeu and stopped losing. The scale seems stuck for some reason. Anyone else having this probrem so soon after their banding? It's been 2 weeks and I'm starting to get hungry now.
