Please don't answer that I already know the answer = ] I have a question for you all that I would think I should know the answer. Before I ask, NO I don't think I have one. My question is, is it actually possible to eat so much you burst your new tummy and cause a leak. By POSSIBLE, I mean wouldnt other things happen first to warn you? Like projectile vomiting and extreme pain? Sorry, I know that is gross but sometimes I wonder.

Thanks,

Tiff

I haven't heard of it but will pay attention next time. I honestly never feel full/stuffed or like my sleeve can't take in anymore. Its quiet the opposite and I worry that I can take in more liquid when compared to others. 2 oz in 15 minutes is way too little for me. I could probably do double that. I try to do it slowly because I have to and I don't want to mess with my sleeve but its just not cutting it for me right now. I know it'll be different when I get to solids. I might feel fuller then. As of now, its not happening. I don't try to see how much it would take for me to feel full though. Don't want to play with fire.

Don't worry as much about liquids (I mean if you are able to take in more that is pretty normal from many posters), the stomach's job is to hold contents until they are liquid and then pass them into the small intestine. So Water seems to pass right through for some of us and not "fill" the sleeve as long as you don't guzzle. Even today I am noticing as long as I take a breath between each sip and don't guzzle I can drink quite a bit of clear liquid. I had 16 ounces today during a 45 min walk (yesterday it was 8 ounces on the walk). This is going to differ for everyone based on swelling etc, but be aware that liquid freedom can be a downfall if you use high calorie liquids and not just water or sugar free drink.

I have not heard of that rule but I do know that if I have eaten too much I can NOT take a deep breath or my esophagus feels like it will burst!
