Maria,
Just having had your piercing yesterday is much too early for removal of the tongue jewlery.
You do not need to remove it to eat. Removing it before the tongue is completely healed, (6-8 weeks) will cause the puncture to heal over and you would longer be able to get the post in your tongue.
Here is a website that completely explains the care of the tongue piercing. Make sure that you are very careful in protecting the tongue puncture from infection.

Good morning,
I noticed that you had not yet been back to the website to review the answer to your very important health question.
I hope that you do review the information as I think it is the information that you area looking for.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
