Hi Hollywood there's a chance your band could slip as it isn't bedded in yet , but I have heard of some ppl who have eaten more or less straight away and there ok but not something I would recommended xxxxx

i would defo not even attempt to eat food 3 days post op,as your band hasnt settled yet..ive gotta admit ive had a few slips up between 2 weeks n 3 weeks post op but felt ill afterwards,bloatness n sickness..not nice xx

My appetite took about 10 days to come back after surgery...for the first week I was careful by eating soups, liquidy things....

Each hospital provider gives out different timings for sloppy/liquid foods, then mushy/mashed foods etc....

Check with yours to find out what your meant to be on.

Also try and find out if they put any 'Fill' in your band upon surgery, I only recently found out that I had 1ml in my 10ml band at surgery, and ive just had my first fill (5 weeks post op)...and have 3.5ml in my band now....hunger doesnt happen now, I do however get my belly grumbling at me if I havent eaten...so I stick to the 3 meal rule, with 2 snacks....(one of those snacks being a pudding/desert from weight watchers etc for after dinner)
