Hey girl, just wanted to say that my doc did away with the 'mushies' stage just for the reason you stated...you can chew almost anything into a mushie. Also during Bandster Hell (before you get restriction) it's all about healing. If you're drinking more protein shakes (or eating more mushies) to curb your hunger, it's OK...they go straight into your stomach (many gain weight during this period). When I got to solids I found I actually didn't have to chew much at all...in fact I got hungry faster if I chewed everything into a pulp before restriction. Hang in there...I think it's different for everyone and part of this process is figuring out what works for you. Good luck! -BG
