canadamama Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Can anyone tell me why no mushy foods and it is that all the time or just through the 21 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clynn Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Just the post-op diet, though mushy foods are generally discouraged as the band doesn't have as much of an effect on them as solids but your results may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesuse Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 In the first 21 days, mushy food is potentially too solid and could build up in your new pouch and cause a slip. In this early stage it's crucial that your stomach is able to heal in the new position. After the 21 days, mushy food is potentially too soft - and will go right through your band rather than building up in your pouch and giving you that full feeling.
