Fluffernutt

hi there. Hoping for a little feedback to give me some perspective. I keep reading about people who have to very carefully and slowly sip Water //fluids for awhile after they are sleeved. I am a week out from surgery and haven't had any issues with drinking anything. I can finish a premiere Protein Shake (I certainly don't guzzle it) in about 45 mins, sipping every few minutes. I can take decent size swigs of water, juice, tea... Also, I am able to consume about 2 cups of egg drop Soup without feeling sick, full or queasy. I may be able to have more, but I don't want to push it. Does this sound reasonable to you guys? I am supposed to be on Full liquids for another 2 weeks and I am just wondering if perhaps some people didn't really feel their fullness until they started eating mushiness or puréed foods. Thanks for your assist and advice. ????

I'd say a shake in 45 min at 2 weeks is normal. You might not feel restriction yet because if fluids but also because the areas healing in stomach may still be numb. Don't push it. Sip and aim for fluid goals and as much Protein as you can. The first time you eat refried Beans of mushy/puréed, you'll probably feel some discomfort. Sounds about right though.

Fluffernut, I was sleeved a week ago Monday and am experiencing the same thing. I have read that the feeling of "restriction" does not come until we start eating food. But wouldn't know yet.

I'm excited nervous and anxious I can't wait . I'm already donating clothes that I haven't used in a long time . my doctor didn't recommend me the liquid diet . The countdown begins are you excited as much as I am?
