Hello and welcome to the losers' bench!

I don't know exactly why you feel so good but I think it's a great way to start your journey!

It may depend on your age, as you said. I remember that when I was between 19 and 25 I never slept, always out partying and clubbing and being stupid and even managed to get my degree on time. Now I need 2 friggin days to recover from a night out clubbing and drinking (I mean, until 2 months ago before I got sleeved, no way I am going out drinking right now!) and I am only 30!

Anyway, enjoy your weight loss and I wish you to keep feeling this good!

I don't think it's much to do with age, "strength" or pre-surgery weight per se -- it has seemed fairly random to me. Some people just have an easier time of it than others. I am over 40, had 100 lbs to lose, and have had an absolute breeze of it -- never had a problem drinking or eating (my program moves to all regular food from four days post-op). Just be glad you're one of the lucky ones so far!

WOW THAT IS GREAT!

My surgery was on 3/21 and I am having issue's with drinking all that is needed. I am happy for you, it gives me hope.

I am 42, sleeved on 3/1/11, and have felt great since day two, I asked to have the morphine drip taken away on day 2 in the hospital. I will say day one SUCKED big time! I have been able to drink Water normally, I am taking all my Vitamins, and I seem to stomach everything well so far, although Im still on mushies. I do worry because it seems as thought I can eat a lot compared to others at the mushy stage. last night I had to two eggs scrambled, with FF cheese, and Salsa, I was full but it went down pretty easy.

I posted at just a few days out and stated how great I felt, I forgot who posted back and said they believe feeling better has a lot to do with a positive mental attitude, and I agree.

Hi, I am 2 days out and feeling pretty good. My plan has me on clear liquids thru day 7, can then add skim mild and protein drinks. Must drink 1.5 cups of gatorade a day. There is an added not that if you feel lethargic to start protein drinks early. I am vey positive about the surgery - got to see the tiny tummy when I had my barium swallow today. (That stuff is nasty bitter). I fly home tomorrow and am not expecting any problems. Jean
