Alexandra 55 Posted December 22, 2005 My surgeon has us stay on liquids for a day and a second day on mushies, just in case there is any swelling in reaction to the tightening of the band. if you try to eat something solid before the stomach has acclimated to the new restriction, you might make a swelling situation worse before you even know it's happening. Just take it slow, is the mantra. :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
