    Lucky you! There's nothing wrong with that. Just means you don't have quite as much swelling and inflammation as some other folks. You are one of the lucky ones!

    Okay...yay!!!

    I guess I was just worried I would be able to do the same with food later on

    liquids pass right through the sleeve within a matter of seconds. I was lucky enough to get to watch my barium swallow test on a live x-ray post-op and it was literally just straight through my sleeve, like pouring Water through a hose. The only reason some people experience restriction with fluids in the early days post-op is because some people have significant swelling and inflammation in their sleeve and/or esophagus. Trust and believe that you will feel SIGNIFICANT restriction once you are onto more substantial foods.
