sandy1 1 Posted April 21, 2011 Why do you have to be on a liquid diet for 3 weeks after surgery before you can even start eating soft foods? This is driving me crazy!! Does anybody know the answer. What happens if you do eat food? I was told to let the band get secured in your stomach. I was also told the first few weeks after the band is placed that is the greatest risk of slippage. I just got my band yesterday and hate the liquid diet but gonna stick to it. I suggest staying with liquids and give your body a change to heal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
