Has anyone experienced or heard of a slippage during the early stages of being on liquids or mushies only? Just curious how hard or easy it is to screw this phase up.

I've honestly never heard of it that early unless you have some severe violent vomiting or the surgeon messed up.

That's not to say it's never happened, mind you. I've just never heard of it.

I would recommend trying to stick as close to that post op diet as you can because my dr said you can seriously hurt yourself if you don't let your band area heal properly. I'm pretty sure the vomiting is what can cause slippage. Follow the diet and stick to the plan.
