I just had gastric sleeve on Saturday the 23rd and the first two-three days I did feel full and .. not hungry at all. But now I'm worried because I'm in a position where I don't know how much to drink and I don't know when to feel full? The guide sheet says 30 ML every 15 minutes but I don't know how much that is and I don't know when to get full and its worrying me! Its my first week and I'm doing Clear Liquids ONLY! pls help.

30 ml - 1 Fluid oz. I wasn't able to drink that much the first several days but that is what my doctor wanted me to do also... Just try to sip as often as possible... Good Luck...

You won't get full on liquids, they go right through your pyloric valve. You really don't need to worry about that at this point, just concentrate on drinking enough.

The guidelines such as "30 ml every 15 minutes" are usually a minimum to keep you from getting dehydrated, not a maximum to keep you from drinking too much.

Do you not have some sort of measuring spoons or cups to use?

Get a shot glass, and sip on it with Water. It will keep you from gulping too much at one time and its a good training aid.

@@Bufflehead Thank you so so much! That helped me a lot actually! I was really worried at first,

and no I don't have any measuring cups unfortunately but I will invest in some very soon.

I was sleeved on the 25th and I am still working on my liquids. It seems all I do is drink. I am scared to have pudding or Jello because vomiting is horrible. I experienced that a lot in the hospital. I ended up staying 4 days because I couldn't keep anything down.
