Well a smart egg would have eaten before getting the tongue piercing done, but barring that over sight, eat easy going foods (soup sandwiches etc.) about an hour or two after the piercing. Don't forget the cold stuff for the swelling.
Food would be a good thing, unlike a tongue piercing you can eat almost anything so long as you rinse after eating and stay on something for swelling.
I got my tongue pierced over a week ago and my friend got her's a year before me. She drank on the third night after her piercing, and the swelling on her tongue went down. I also did the same, and swelling also went down. Just be careful, cause when you drink beer that early after piercing it, the tongue will tingle from the carbonation. My tongue ring is almost completely healed now.
Usually about a week or a week and a half. Depends on your body and what you try to eat during healing
Why do you have a fishing line in your tongue piercing in the first place
A complete healing of tongue piercing can take up to 4 weeks.
That is based on the tongue size ( not all tongues are created equally ) the thicker the tongue the longer the barbell. This is to make room for swelling. Your professional body piercer will check your tongue and size you for the right barbell to do the job. Two weeks after the piercing is done the swelling will have eased off and a shorter barbell can be put into the piercing to avoid doing dental damage.

As long as you want your tongue to be pierced for.
Depends on how you heal and how you treat the piercing. When cared for properly, the swelling usually goes down within a week. Tenderness can last for 2 weeks or more.
Swelling can vary from person to person, so as long as you follow your written aftercare instructions and listen to your professional body piercer you shouldn't have any issues.
Each barbell is scaled to the size of the tongue to be pierced therefore there is no "actual size" barbell for tongues, this is why you need to have the piercing done by a professional body piercer who will scale and measure the tongue and place the correctly sized barbell into the piercing.
No. The ear piercing gun and stud are designed to be used on earlobes only. The tongue is a complex group of two major muscles joined by connective tissue and convered by over 10,000 tastebuds and pain receptors. Tongue piercing is intended to go between the muscle groups at least* (*at minimum) to a depth of 3/4 of an inch from the tip of the tongue. The ear piercing gun will not have the reach nor will the studs be long enough to allow for the swelling the will take place after the piercing is done.

Nothing. The initial barbell you get is long because it has to accommodate for swelling. Its the same kind of barbell, just longer than what youre gonna wear once the swelling is gone
