My doc says liquids for three days, mushies for three more and then back to regular foods. Curious to see how this compares to others’ instructions. :-)

My doctor is the same as Steelerfan.  I have never had a problem eating after the mushies stage.

 Protein shakes/liquids for 1-2 days. Then back to normal. Have never had problems.

Full liquids for the remainder of that day (I always get fills in the afternoon)

"Tread lightly" after that --- no real restriction on foods, just small, careful bites.

(My doc is a big believer that the band works to dim our appetite when we consume a diet of lean/solid protein, produce, healthy grains, low-fat dairy ---- so, he tries to get us into that type of diet as soon as is safe).

My instructions are much like Kath's.   Liquids the rest of the day, mushies that night if I want them, back to solids as tolerated.  If anything gives trouble to back down a step and proceed a little slower.

My fill appts are usually in the afternoon, but I've had morning ones too, and I just go to soft foods in the later afternoon when that occurs.

It may also depend on the size of the fill or how "agressive" your fills are for you.  I get tiny tweaks and always have since my first one which was only 1cc.. since then they've been .5 and .2.
