I fear that I will fail with the sleeve. I'm 1week post-op and has lost 28lbs already but I fear failure because I'm able to drink all my liquids and don't really feel any real restrictions. Can someone comment on my concern.

You probably won't feel restriction with water, you may have to wait until your eating food with some density. It's a little (lot) to early to be worrying about failure. Be thankful you can get all your fluids in, a lot of people have issues with fluids early on. Relax!

Good for you....be glad you can get in all your liquids. It's a a wonderful "problem" to have. I could, too. Like Elode said, you will not feel the restriction until you are on solids. I watched the barium liquid flow right through my sleeve into my intestines within seconds when they did my fluoroscopy leak test, so it doesn't stick around long enough to give a full sensation. Seriously, just relax, be grateful you feel so good and enjoy the journey! You lost 28 pounds for schit's sake...took me almost 3 months to do that.

I felt like my sleeve was too big when I started on post-op liquids. I was able to drink 64oz a day by the 4th day after surgery. So I thought maybe my sleeve was too big. Until I started on purees. Once you go to purees, you will feel the restriction. And once you return to solids you will feel it even more.

I think the fear of failure is a healthy fear. It shows commitment.

Your confidence in your ability to success will grow very quickly as you start passing milestones...both scale and non-scale victories.

Best of luck on your journey!
