Omg thank you, thank you.. I'm 2wks out and wondering "I'm I going to lose weight, when?" but I claim along with you that this too will happen to me! Yes&Amen

Hi all,
I was sleeved 2 weeks ago. I lost 12 pounds the first week and week 2 NOTHING! It seems impossible to not drop the pounds when I'm barely eating anything. I'm working on getting that Protein in.
Anyway, my question is about drinking Clear liquids. The first couple of days I was sipping and feeling the pains and gas bubbles like I've seem so many of you talking about but after the first week it seems like I can drink normally. I do follow the 30-30-30 rule but I'm kinda shocked that when I drink I don't really have to sip. I can take serveral drinks in a row with no problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about it because it's so much easier to get my fluids in. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I guess I'm a little worried that I don't have enough restriction in my sleeve. Then again, maybe I'm just a fast healer and the swelling is gone. I haven't had any trouble adding different foods back into my diet so far and I feel great.

I don't eat slow now nor have I ever. I did measure my food carefully when I was first out so I didn't overeat (thougth I still did sometimes and got the slimes). Anyway it's not that big of a deal IMO

Yes, eating solids too early can be bad news. IMO, it's not worth pushing forward with the diet because the sleeve needs time to heal. If you're feeling "hungry", you definitely need to talk to your doctor about getting an acid reducer for you. Part of that hungry feeling is head hunger as well. For most of us, that goes away once all of the ghrelin hormone is out of our systems, which can take up to 30 days.
Is having solid foods a few days early worth the possible risk that you'll cause a leak and end up in the hospital or on a liquid diet for months instead of a few more days? I don't think so.
Instead of sitting there obsessing about what you can't eat, drink some Water, go for a walk, call a friend, or have a nice cup of warm broth. Right now it seems you'll never get to eat solid food again, but it will be a minor blip on the radar in a few weeks.
Good luck!
