I am 11 days post-op and I'm afraid my sleeve has stretched!! I can drink as much as I want without getting that full tight feeling. But I get full with about a cup of soup (cream of chicken, potato, ect). Does this sound bad? I'm glad I can drink the fluids but I'm worried about it being stretched.

Sounds normal. I was always able to drink like a camel and some people are able to eat right away. Be careful not to irritate things though.. Your stomach is still pretty tender

I've never felt a sense of fullness when drinking. It takes real food for me to feel my restriction. So I think your as normal as me! P.S. Don't read too much into that... it'll just make things worse.

I was sleeved 10/7/13 and feel the same. I can take down fluids with no problems. But when the food comes that's when I really fill the restriction. I am on purée/soft and I instantly know after 3 to 4 spoons that's it I'm full!

Come to think of it, I'm 6 weeks out today and I've never felt full drinking anything really. You didn't stretch your sleeve out.

I felt the same and I was sleeved on Sept 20th. However, I still pace myself with liquids. I am to drink water and not feel a thing! You are ok and very normal!

Same here. I'm 8 days postop and can drink well without problems. Real restricted eating though. I had a scrambled egg today and it went done perfectly. That's my limit. One egg or 4-6 ozs of soup.
