Moving Onto Mush & Solids

[Aimee Orrock 2]

Hey everyone,

At what stage did you move onto mush such as mashed potato & eggs etc? And at this stage what foods do you eat? I am only five days post band & the more I read the more I realise everyone is told to follow different plans! Im on liquid at the moment ... anything that can go through a straw & will remain on these until two weeks post op.

I have been feeling lots of tightening around my tummy when I eat & feel more of a restriction today than I have over the last five days! I just hope it stays like that as my fill is not until the 26th June!

I am still very gassy & it hurts my stomach lots, looking forward to that passing xx

7 days broth/stock and Protein shakes; 7 days smooth Soup like Tomato and Protein shakes; 7 days smooth Soup and cottage/ricotta cheese, 7 days smooth soup and canned chicken or tuna, egg whites; finally to solids.

My doctor did not approve mashed potato I'm guessing because of the carbs. If you were going to have mashed make it sweet potato as it's nutrition is better.
