Hi! I'm 9 days postop and feel totally normal. I've been doing full liquids and have no issues getting anything down. I can take big gulps and many drinks of something in a row. I don't ever feel full but I don't feel hungry so that's a plus!

Is this normal? The couple people I know that had the surgery had a hard time especially in the beginning with being able to get enough liquids down.

I'm 4 weeks out and can drink a lot. I wondered it that was normal.

Well lets see.. normal is such vague word.. HMMMM.. NO> you should have restriction but lets just see.. Your better off feeling that way than the other way.. i had no complications at all but i know plenty of folks that had so so much trouble getting anything down for a long time. So keep plugging away and follow your designed plan...

I think you should not eat a lot after any Gastric Surgery This gives a lot of pain and some point vomiting too..if your stomach doesn't accept the amount food this give you more problem

What kinds of food are you eating 4 weeks out? Do you feel full?

No one answered directly, but yes, its "a" normal. The majority have problems with drinking for a while, but a large chunk of us don't. I had zero problems chugging right out of surgery (had the same question as you).

True restriction will kick in when you move on to real foods. Just remember there are a lot of normals

Thank you belunos! That makes me feel better!

That is GREAT! I think it is normal!! You are not supposed to have problems. I have tons of problems but I think it's because of the hiatal hernia repair and non compliance on my part. But you are truly blessed to be able to gulp with no pain. I sure wish I could.
