pattigail

My name is Pat and I was banded Nov 15, 2006 by Dr Bhoyrul in San Diego. I lost 40 lbs pre-op during the 6 months previous on a medically supervised diet which showed I was able to change my habits. Then since banding I have lost another 60 lbs. I feel great. And now it is no longer an all consuming STRUGGLE to keep the weight down.

Hi, I am new. Just got my band on Nov. 15 My question is can it hurt me to go to mushies after one week? I read in my little Inamed book that the liquid post-op diet should be 1 - 2 weeks. Being that it was Thanksgiving I decided to add pureed food to my broth - then had some pureed Turkey, green Beans and squash on Turkey day. Now I am a little freaked out thinking that even though everything went fine (no pain or stoppage) I hope I did not do any damage. I am back on liquids now, worried that I may have done wrong.
