Diet After Band Removal

Hi everyone,

I just had my band removed on Friday (4 days ago) and my Dr told me to stay on Clear liquids the first week, but I could have Protein shakes and then thicker liquids the next. The third week I could start adding food to my diet.

For those of you who have had their band removed, how was your diet afterwards?
