I'm two weeks out from my sleeve surgery and I'm really finding it hard to want to drink anything other than Water.

I have a morning Protein shake and after that I'm just full all day long. (About 30g protein)

I've been sipping water thru the day to stay hydrated but to think about anything with flavor just makes me nervous about over filling and I'd rather just skip every other meal.

I suppose I'm just looking for reassurance that this is normal and just gets better in time.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm a little past the 2 week post-op mark as well. Hunger really isn't a thing at this point. I drink/eat because I know I need to. Now that I'm on pureed foods I actually get a full feeling after eating, but I don't get that with liquids. I use Crystal Light for most of my drinks and change up the flavors as I get bored easy post-op for some reason. Nearly everyone says it will pass in time. Part of it is that our stomachs still figuring things out and the signals aren't there yet. In time it will get better.

Thank you for this. I'm not all that good with patience and I started to get a bit nervous.
