Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the post so far. I don't want anyone to think that I'm being deliberately careless with my band. I chose to have it for many health reasons. It does seem that I haven't been very well educated on nutrition etc regarding all this. I was not even aware I even had sutures inside. All I was told was to have liquids for one week then mushy for the second then back to normal food after that until my first fill. Can some of you list some of the drinks/foods that are ok at this stage? How do you all manage the hunger? Thanks in advance P.Sin no way did I intend to insult anyone by my uneducated state!!! X

My instructions were the same but my appetite has returned with a vengeance! Of course now that I have eaten a little 'normal food' it's the only thing that will satisfy me. I guess it also doesnt help that I feel zero pain from surgery last week. In fact half the time I forget I've actually had surgery! Are you nervous about surgery? The wait between deciding to have a band and actually getting it seemed so long!

Im currently 6 days post op and I can eat normal food already! Is there anyone else out there the same? Today, for example, I had toast for breakfast, soup for lunch and a baked potato for tea! I know I could risk my band slipping but I feel as if I don't eat myself to a 'full' state this should be ok.? I am not scheduled for my first until 13 September.
