Hi NT
Glad you are feeling ok after your op.
I just stuck to water and bovril drink for 24 hours after my op and it took me ages to get through a cup. But we are all different - I suppose if you are not very swollen then you will find it easier. As long as you are following what your provider is saying then you will be fine.

Thank you PS. Just freaked me out. I did sip and didn't force at all. Feeling fine now and not hungry or anything. Did find on my pre op and followed to the T the milk diet. I am a bit confused about portion sizes this week now as thought I would feel different (I know this could change tomorrow) was planning on two slimfast and soup just having what I want from those. Does that sound about right?! X

Hi again NT
I started off by having a slim fast or a protein shake in the morning, took me about 30 mins to finish it to begin with, by end of week it was gone in about 5 mins! For lunch I had soup, about 1/2 can to begin with - by end of week I was managing the full can. For tea I either had a yoghurt or a custard pot. For first few days this was enough for me but by end of first week I was starting to feel hunger, so my provider said I could go on mushy.
Just go with what your provider says and don't force it and don't worry - we are all different.

Hi NT
I don't have any restriction after my band op. it is really odd. You've planned so long for the reduced diet that, even though you've read that you may not have any restriction until your first fill, it comes as a surprise when we can eat!!
I was really upset that I wouldn't be able to gulp down water but I drink whatever and when I want. It may all change again when I have my first fill a week on Friday.
