Thanks so much for all that took the time to write. I am grateful. This put my mind at ease. I prayed for ease after the procedure. I am excited to continue on this journey and see changes.

Hello I am 7 days out from a sleeve and feeling well overall. I am able to drink multiple gulps of broth, water and non protein liquid without difficulty at all. I feel a mild sense of fullness after, but that’s it. I think I have no problem meeting my liquid quota, just a little short on the protein. I am worried that this ability to drink a lot of liquid at one time means my sleeve is not small enough or that they didn’t take enough and that I won’t be as successful in my journey. Other thoughts include, “does this ability to drinking so much liquid without difficulties mean my sleeve will stretch?” I am neither hungry nor thirsty. However, there is a deep dry mouth and dry esophagus (I think) feeling that is compelling me to drink/gulp a lot of fluids at once. Seems silly to ask this. However, I have been a little worried and I am wondering if there is anyone in my boat or anyone that had no problem drinking in the early phase that was successful overall? Thanks for reading 🙏🏽
