Too much liquid 5 days Post Op?

So, I have been having all of the right things, broth, Protein drinks, Water, but I seem to be able to tolerate a bit more than the doctor who took my drain out indicated. Is this okay? I have not had one thing not allowed (even though I'm a bit hungry at times) and hope at tomorrows appointment I can start purees. I can take a cup of unjury chicken Soup down in 15 minutes or less. Is this wrong? Is my sleeve not working?

Unless your stomach is very swollen due to the trauma of surgery, liquids go through quickly. You'll start feeling restriction when you move on to soft foods. Your sleeve is working fine -- the fact that you can drink a good amount means your surgeon did a great job (causing little trauma) and your stomach is responding well to surgery rather than freaking out and swelling up like a baboon's behind. Sounds like you are doing a great job keeping on track!
