My doc says that if you can eat right away, then lucky for you. He doesnt see any need for liquids to mushies to solids OTHER than you dont know how the fill is going to sit and you may have a painful episode.

Personally, I dont need to do liquids or mushies, I can eat fine. But I go VERY cautiously, really slow, tiny bites, lots and lots of chewing and I know I'm going to be tight for a few days so I choose easy foods.

If the sandwich went down fine, then there's no need to give it another thought. But it could have been very different, lol, so caution is required and that's really why the liquids - it gives you a bit of insurance and avoids a PBing episode.
