Too Much Liquid

I was sleeved the 31st and I don't seem to have a limit on liquids. I can't gulp, but it seems like I can drink a lot. Some people were talking about a medicine cup full every half hour or something, I can just keep going. Is this a bad thing? Will all this change once I can eat? Thanks for any thoughts.

I was sleeved on the 23rd and I was the same . I still can drink all I want but my food intake is very limited.

Same here, too. Sleeved on 10/22 and as long as it's water consistency, I don't seem to be limited by this 2-4 oz thing on liquid. I've noticed though, the thicker something is, the less I can tolerate. So soups, puddings, solids... there's a definite limit before my body goes "okay no more!"

I don't think this is a bad thing. When you are still in the hospital they expect that you will only be able to tolerate medicine cup size helpings of liquids. However, as your stomach heals, it should tolerate liquids much better. It just sounds like your body has really healed.

I'm losing between 4 and 5 pounds a week on average right now, but I had a very high start weight. I'll lose a pound or so then lose nothing for a couple days, then lose some more.
