I think pre op and post op diet vary so much from Doctor to Doctor. I am on day 8 after being banded, and my Doctor recommends starting with some solider type food like toast, corn flakes and soft fruit.

I has been on a soft/sloppy diet for a week previous to today which was yoghurt, mash potato and custard, that kinda consistancy. I think the important thing is to listen to your body I managed a slice of toast this morning not all in on go though! But everyones recovery is diffrent! None of that was prob any help at all sorry lol!

It can be hard but I would follow your doctors orders. I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and it really was the longest 2 weeks of my life. It does get better I promise. Be careful not to over eat which can cause your pouch to expand. Do the best you can and concentrate on healing. You will do GREAT!!!!
