Oh yeah liquids go down much easier. When I was 5 days out It seemed like I could drink and eat a bowl of cream of wheat or a full bowl of soup.With that said the challenge will be when you are at stage 3 soft foods then you will be fully aware of your sleeve.When I was at stage 3 I said good now I can eat soft foods,well I started with 1 egg,1 sausage and some cottage cheese well I barely got that 1 egg down and that was it.I was completely full.
