Hi,I had my band out 5 weeks ago..the first day was just clear soup..tea/coffee..next morning was porridge,yoghurt,toast.tea/coffee and yeah from then on was allowed what ever..but every surgeon is different I suppose..I must say It was like I had been locked up for 4.5 yrs lol ..It was so good to be able to eat normal food again..soooo missed toast,salad sandwiches etc I have enjoyed the last 5 weeks eating without restriction but on the 10th of oct... it all ends again :( but I know it's for the best..also I wasn't hungry for the first 4 days after band out..the thought of food actually made me feel sick..odd I know..but I t didn't last long lol..good luck for tuesday.. enjoy your freedom while you can xxx
