Hi every body I'm worried for my friend she was sleeved this November and discharged from the hospital like a couple of days later. She was able to drink Clear liquids then full liquids now that her surgeon tells her it's ok to eat yogurt like textured food she is not able to drink Water even four hours after eating 1/4 of a yogurt. Has any one faced such thing?

So she's just 2 weeks out, right? I was on liquids for a full 3 weeks before ever attempting puréed textured foods. And even then 1/4 cup of yogurt would have been way too much. Even a couple teaspoons made me too full to drink for hours. I ended up drinking protein shakes, water, juice, milk, tea and protein broth most of the day and taking a couple nibbles of yogurt or refried beans late in the day. Your friend's sleeve may just not be ready to advance yet. Getting 100+ ounces of fluids and 60-80g of protein is more important than the type of texture she can tolerate right now. As long as she's meeting fluid and protein goals, she can transition food stages as slow as she needs to. Took me over a year to be able to meet my protein goals with solid food alone. But believe me, I sure appreciate the restriction.

Thank you Dairymary I worry for her since she's no way near the minimum Water intake. Should she be going in the hospital for IV or Vitamin injections or something? I will take her to the nutritionist she kept missing her appointments due to the lack of energy.

If she feel dehydrated then yes. She should start her diet over. letting her try liquids. Sympotms of dehydration include dry mouth, no tears, fatigue, no urine. Then I would say take her to the ER.
