I am one day post op and I am easily sipping water and I finished an entire protein shake in 30 minutes with no problem. Is this normal? I am so afraid this is not going to work

Sounds with in the range of "normal" to me. Everyone's body is a little different, so we all tolerate things differently. Just be sure to take it slowly as your ease at drinking could become difficult any time. Hopefully you are just one of the lucky ones who have no problems with the fluids!!

Well, if it doesn't at least you will have company. I am in the same boat and can drink like a champ. Now that being said, I don't chug (I tried it once and I could feel a small bit of pressure) but can drink very smoothly with no pauses. I think everyone's a bit different out of the gate and I have seen many past posts where people started off like this but did run into more restriction when actual food was introduced. I wouldn't worry too much just yet!

When did you have your surgery?

3/19 so I am a few days further out than you but I've been steady with my drinking since the day after surgery.

I am going to try not to worry!! But I sure hope this sleeve will work!! I am a lapband to sleeve revision and the lapband failed me so I am once bitten twice shy!!
