    Im 2 weeks post op too and feel exactly the same.

    Its good your not feeling restriction as it means your healing, so my consultant said.

    I have been eating much more, well sloppy food anyway lol.

    Dont forget your band is fitted, but not working fully untill your first fill x

    Yes that's normal!

    As when you have the op the band is just fitted and usually not inflated or just inflated slightly so it is normal not to feel any difference and be able to eat a lot more than you would think you can!

    Don't worry after a fill or 2 you can definitely feel the restriction xx

    Yes as Rebecc02 says its liquid and mush for the first few weeks to help with the swelling from getting the band fitted.  There will be very little if any in the band at this stage.  When you go for a fill you again go onto liquid and mush it differs who your with but mine is 3 days liquid 3 days mush.  This is as the band is fillsed again it must bruise your inside and so swells so again its to get you used to the band x

      So has mine. Im terrified of putting any food in my mouth lol.

      My consultant said they expect about 20lb weight loss from start of pre op to first band adjustment.

      Dont worry. Apparently this is all normal. Not long till first band fill x
