Hi All

I am almost 2 wks post op and returned to work today. Feeling great but really looking forward to an upgrade from just Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes. So what kinds of food is included in the mushy stage. Also I am a big tea drinker, when do we get to put a littel skim milk in and not have it just clear.

Thanks

Bonnie

Week three soft mushies: low fat cottage and ricotta, smooth spaghetti sauce, blended Greek yogurt (fat free milk to thin it out). Week 4 scrambled eggs, canned chicken and tuna, low fat laughing cow.

I was allowed to have milk at day 4, just depends on your doctor. You may want to make sure you tea is Decaf, caffine tends to increase your hungry- I've been dealing with that myself lately.

Soft/Mushy stage: thin creamed potatos (made mine with chicken broth and added a little cheese- YUM), yogurt, SF pudding, thinned oatmeal or grits, mushed up soft cooked green Beans, baiscally anything that is of the yogurt consistancy.

Beware as you enter into this stage people who have seen weight loss tend to see a slight increase. Just stick to your basics and you will be fine. Right now concentrate on healing your body.

Hi, I'm about 3 weeks out from my band.

Just out of curiosity, why are you allowed to have Protein Shakes and not a touch of milk in your tea? Is dairy a no no in the first stage of liquids, but Protein Shakes are ok? I guess i will learn all this when i progress through the process.

Thanks in advance!

HI All

Thanks for all the info...it is so funny how the "eating" stages vary so much from Doc to Doc. My Doc made it very clear, black Decaf tea or coffee. Articfical sweeter was ok. I am not an advocate of artifical sweetner and never use (but I also don't use sugar either). Tomorrow I go to the doc and can't wait to see what I have in store!

Thanks again

Bonnie
