I'm 10 days post op and still on my full liquid diet. I'm finding it very easy to eat a lot of Soup and drink a lot of Water. Any advice? I feel guilty

Half of a cup for Soup within a half hour and for Water I can drink about 16 ounces within an hour. I'm so thirsty all the time

As long as you're not feeling sick, bloated, in pain, or you're forcing yourself? I don't see the problem?

Not forcing myself. I guess it just goes down really well. But about 10 minutes after I feel balloted. I just feel so guilty???

Nah, I think you're fine. You won't feel the restriction with liquids like you will when you get to real food. I am recalling that I could eat 1/2 cup of Soup at 10 days out, too.

I would suggest you slow down your intake. A little at a time. Let it settle and see where you go from there. If you're feeling bloated so soon out, that's not a good thing. It'll be like you're forcing it a bit.

Just be careful, slow down and see how you go. No guilt required.

I'm in the same boat Megpie. I have been told that will change with the non liquid diet. I have modified what I am doing as Madam Reverie has said. My surgery was December 26th.

You will start feeling more restriction when you start eating foods with more substance. I could drink a Protein drink in half an hour. Sip and keep up your fluids throughout the day. I wouldn't feel guilty. You're doing what you should be doing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
