Dr. Justin Bessell Patients...Question for you!!!

I was banded by Dr. Bessell just over 3 weeks ago so I have 5 more days of pureed/mushy food. I am so sick of it---what is next?!?! It says soft but how long for and does that include anything good? I am dying to crunch and chew!!! Please let me know, love to hear from you!

Cheers,
CallieOzgirl

Don't rush things! it is important to let things heal. I know it is hard, but worth it in the end... Try mashed potato, and vitamised baked beans and a bit of melted cheese!

Hi,

I was banded by Dr Bessell. After mushies is soft food. I stayed on soft food for about a week and a half, then started introducing more solid foods.

On soft foods I had stuff like macaroni & cheese, mince meat, baked beans and steamed vegies.

Hang in there - remember that the end is in sight and you won't have to do it ever again!
