reshiapooh96 31 Posted July 18, 2013 When I was first banded, I may have lost more weight if I had remained on liquids a little longer. But I was ready to eat soft foods and advanced to eating any and everything I wanted in no time. Looking back on things, It was at that stage that I lost the most weight. For those of you that had to wait before getting sleeved, How long did you stay on liquids after band removal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purplrose323 32 Posted July 18, 2013 When I had my band removed I wasn't required to be on liquids. My surgeon just told me to take it easy with eating and go slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baba Wawa 543 Posted July 21, 2013 I had my band removed 6 weeks ago. There was a lot of scar tissue around the esophagus and upper stomach. I had symptoms of end stage achalasia, verified by manometry. The achalasia symptoms have resolved after removal. I was on a soft diet for 4 weeks post op because of the tissue being so damaged. I'm fine now, but because of the damage I cannot revise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nursebarbie 392 Posted July 23, 2013 Me too! Hated my band. I am convinced that thing would've eventually killed me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BabyGirl2730 3 Posted July 28, 2013 I just had mine removed last month and I was told I could have gone right into solids within a few days. I decided to take it a little slow though and actually did liquids for about a week and a half. I just got sleeved about 2 weeks ago and have been on liquids and have lost 17 pounds so far. Getting ready to go into my puree stage in a couple days, can't wait cause my body is telling me I'm ready Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
