Liquids to mushies

pattigail · November 25, 2006

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.

As long as it was all mushies it's ok...do not worry...do one more week of liquids now.

Just remember this is a healing time, which is the reason for liquids. It is good that your purreed the food, but I'd go back to liquids and follow your doctors instructions, you don't want to damage your band in the first two weeks.

It seems like forever, but it will pass.

Hugs!
