Every docs diet plan is different. I started mushies today, my doc had me on liquids for the first 2 weeks and today thru week 7 I'm on mushies. It's a nice feeling to chew again....It's been 4 weeks in total without chewing....

I started purees this week (two weeks out, beginning week 3), and am supposed to start mushies after four weeks... but I'm oddly confused about what constitutes which. Some things on the dietician's pureed list seem like they should be mushies (eggs, cottage cheese, chicken and fish pureed), and some on the mushy list seem like they should be on the pureed list (refried Beans, stuff like that). I've pretty much been going with soft foods that I can either puree OR turn into puree-consistency in my mouth.

I am having this issue also. Everything seems alike at this stage. I am calling my Nut tomorrow for help.

My Kaiser plan is:

Stage I - day of surgery (Wednesday for me!)

Stage II - full liquids - day five after surgery (Sunday for me)

Stage III - pureed foods after call from NUT, generally two weeks post-op.

I think Kaiser calls the pureed, what others call mushie. After pureed..

Stage IV - soft foods stage, moist Protein and a little veggies and fruit.

Stage V - after three month post-op class

Always protein first.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
