Hi should I be concerned that I can drink like triple that amount with no discomfort or nausea. Please give feedback on this. Thanks.

Just to clarify I am on the stage 2 diet pureed foods only my surgery was Nov 11 2013

No Jayson, you do not have to feel discomfort. I felt no discomfort from the get go. I went from puree to regular diet with no repercussions. I felt a little discomfort the first week with anything cold, but other than that I went for broke. If it didn't hurt and I chewed it very well, I ate it. 4 ounces an hour is half a cup. An entire Water is 16 ounces or 2 cups. Put that in perspective. I felt no nausea or pain at all. There are a few of us out there. Pay attention to your cues though. You should be eating no more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup at this stage. I am a month out and I eat from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup, but often quit before I reach that 3/4 cup because I am aware that I should be full. Sure enough, I push it away and am fine until my next meal.

Thanks for the feedback

Me either Jayson, I was able to drink over 60oz's of Water a couple of weeks later, no problem. Now one year out I am drinking 150oz per day.

Hey, Jayson.

I was sleeved on 11/14, so we're close in dates. I have no issues getting about 8 ounces down in an hour and have for quite a few days now. Water can go thru your sleeve quickly.

I still can't eat a whole egg, however - I don't feel pain, but I can feel "not really hungry anymore". I'm taking that as my cue to stop. It's about 3/4 of the egg with some cheese on it.

I agree with above, you just need to listen to your body and figure out what your signal is.

Hi there I don't have those same guidelines my surgeon and dietitian said liquids flow thru fast so they don't stretch your sleeve, I asked bc I am one week out and drinking well over my 64oz and both protein drinks! I was worried bc in have no discomfort and can drink as I normally did! They said this is the first goal and I've just reached it faster than most. They also said next week when I advance to mushy food it will be a whole new ball game I'm limited to 1/4c at a time and they said I should definitely feel the restriction then!
