Question On When You First Get To Eat Solids?

It depends on how tight your band is. In the beginning, as long as you're sufficiently healed, you probably won't notice much. I didn't (started solids around 4 weeks post op). The only thing you may notice is that small amounts fill you up fairly fast, but if you can actually feel the food going through the band, you may not be quite healed enough for solids. After fills, if you can feel stuff going through, you might be a bit too tight.

Oh, I should say that the only time I can feel things going through normally is if I haven't chewed well enough. That's definitely noticeable, but if you chew every bite really well, you should be fine.
