hi there. Hoping for a little feedback to give me some perspective. I keep reading about people who have to very carefully and slowly sip water //fluids for awhile after they are sleeved. I am a week out from surgery and haven't had any issues with drinking anything. I can finish a premiere Protein shake (I certainly don't guzzle it) in about 45 mins, sipping every few minutes. I can take decent size swigs of water, juice, tea... Also, I am able to consume about 2 cups of egg drop soup without feeling sick, full or queasy. I may be able to have more, but I don't want to push it. Does this sound reasonable to you guys? I am supposed to be on Full liquids for another 2 weeks and I am just wondering if perhaps some people didn't really feel their fullness until they started eating mushiness or puréed foods. Thanks for your assist and advice. ????

I am now 17 days post-op. I could drink Water, etc with no problem in the beginning. I had no trouble with the shakes, and now the Soups. However, I will say the longer post-op I've become, the harder it is to eat or drink very much. I was really hungry last night and was only able to eat about 2/3 cup of tomato soup and 2 sugar-free popsicles. I had my first experience on Tuesday night (this week) of eating too much. I agree with all the comments about stopping eating when you FIRST feel full. It would not stay down. Lesson learned.

All normal. I didn't feel the full sensation until I was on soft foods.

Keep drinking!

I am testing myself on puree and mushy foods. Protein shakes and soups are comfort foods.
