Im 2 days post and

I have not had any issues drinking my broth or liquids. I'm happy about that but make me wonder why I've read how some have difficulty drinking. I just sipped on a 4oz juice and 2 oz broth, with no difficulty, am I abnormal? I guess that I'm questioning why I don't feel full.

Congratulations on your surgery. right now you shouldn't feel much restriction. most fluids are just passing through, that is why it is important to get your fluids in to prevent dehydration. You are not abnormal at all, but really that's what is supposed to happen. The restrictions will start happening as you heal and as you get to more solid foods.

Thanks John. :) that's comforting to hear

I was the exact same way. Didnt feel restriction for a couple of weeks

I questioned if I really had anything done. You'll know for sure in time. Enjoy the journey. :)

Guess you must not have much swelling. Many of us, me included, had swelling for up to a week and it limited us on the amount of liquid we could get down. You are very lucky.
