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! :wacko: P.S. Don't read too much into that... it'll just make things worse. :P

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.< /p>

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
