Hi, my husband and i are 8 days post op- we're full liquids with some puree..... Here is my question- how long do liquids stay in your stomach? We had broth and ice tea for "lunch" and i still feel full.... We're out with friends, so i think i overdid it a bit and may have drank too much too quickly.... So did i somehow "hurt" myself or still full? My husband is under the impression that liquids pass through quickly but for years, people have always said drink a glass of water or have lo cal veg soup to fill up before you eat. I know that fill up principle no longer applies, just wondering about the affects of liquid? Thanks!!

Im not sure but when I was on liquids I was hungry every hour or so. Does ur tummy hurt?

No pain at all--just "fullness"

When you're newly sleeved inflammation can keep liquids in for longer because it takes longer for the liquids to flow through a tight space.. For me at 7 months out, I can drink 16 ounces of water and be ready to eat in 10 minutes.

No pain at all--just "fullness"

You are full because you still have swelling in your stomach , when you move past this stage you will see that you drink and them 30 min - an hour you are hungry again
