So I was tired of having plain beef broth so I heated up some veggie beef soup and strained it. It is a bit thicker in consistency and boy did my sleeve let me know. I was getting a bit worried that I was taking liquids so well without any restriction. Good to have the confirmation....

It could also be that you're still very much healing. When I started the protein shakes I couldn't stomach the pre-mixed ones without thinning them out quite a bit. Now at 2 weeks out, they're okay straight from the box/bottle. Slowly though!

I am on day 5 and I had a thicker based soup with no problems. I can tell when too much.

I had no problems getting it down. It was just awesome to feel the fullness for the first time since surgery. I've been taking thin liquids great but not feeling any restriction. It was cool to see that with just a bit thicker consistency my stomach noticed and told me.....I'm probably not making much sense...

I'm 9 days out and im doing puree. My nut told me that I could star after 8 day. It hurt but then it go away. I'm only eating 1 oz. All my meal or 1 oz expect for my liquid.

Do you still supplement with Protein Drinks to get in enough Protein?

I am about 4 weeks out. I usually have about 2 oz of pureed food and get full. I think there was one time where I was able to get 4 oz in.

You are making perfect sense. You will have that experience at each stage. Or should I say I have. Best Wishes

I am almost 4 weeks post and can get around 3 to 4 oz of chicken or tuna down before my sleeve says hey, think I am done here.

I always get the hiccups when i eat too much....nice alarm clock for me However, I can eat more sometimes and less others. I'm sure this is common for many.
