Hello Everybody!

It has been 10 days since I was sleeved. I'm doing pretty well. Looking forward to moving to mushies next week! :thumbup: YAY! I've lost 16lbs. so far. :lol0:

When I went back to the doctor he told me that I was dehydrated and needed to drink more. They told me I need to drink like 3 20oz bottles of liquid everyday. I probably have been drinking 1...

I guess I have been worried about drinking too much or taking too big of sips. HOW do I know if this happens? I really haven't had any problems since the surgery. I haven't felt like I was going to throw up or anything like that.

Also when I drink soup, I am finally able to eat soup with chicken and vegetables if it is put through the blender! What happens if I put too much in my sleeve? I usually go with 1/2 cup, but sometimes I still feel hungry...

Advice anyone? :001_smile:

Hi Charity,

I have been wondering how you are doing. I am so happy you are doing great. Now, how is it that you can, at 10 days eat 1/2 a cup of anything? That is insane to me. I can barley have a couple of spoonfulls and I'm so full. WOW ... you are lucky. You feel hunger? I am never hungry. I guess people ARE different. I dont think you are supposed to blend anything until you are in the mushy stage. I think for now you have to just stay on clears. Basically broth and Jello and plenty of water. I am TODAY 2 weeks out and started on mushies. Basically yogurt and mashed potates. I had some mashed potates for lunch and I am stuffed. I only had 4 spoonfulls. I drink water like crazy and suck on ice as well. Try sucking on the ice ... it helps. You need to eat more broth and water so you dont get dehydrated. I am so happy you posted and that you are doing so well. Keep it up Charity
