Not being able to eat!?

Hello everyone, so I'm 3 days post op sleeve and I can not eat! I have no desire to eat or drink anything. I take small sips of broth and protein shakes but only a couple. Water goes down fine too. I'm scared to get that full feeling because I honestly do not want to throw up! So I always stop before I feel full.

I had nausea the first 2 days but now it's gone. I don't want to become dehydrated or malnourished. How often am I suppose to be eating ? And how much ? Please give me some advice. I really want to do this right !

    You shouldn't be eating yet anyway.. I wasn't until well over a week. What your doing is exactly what you are suppose to be doing. You won't feel a full feeling yet as you are on liquids , it's real

    Water passes through the stomach relatively fast, so unless you're taking a large sip/gulp you shouldn't end up with a full feeling. If you don't have something in the house already get a container to

When ever u want to drink the broth or water u can.. don't leave it too long in between lie more then a few hours especially if your in a hot region.. I'm in Australia so I always was drinking lol
Go by what ever your Dr or dietician has said.. you will be ok!! [emoji5]


Water passes through the stomach relatively fast, so unless you're taking a large sip/gulp you shouldn't end up with a full feeling. If you don't have something in the house already get a container to properly measure how much you're drinking. I reused a 32 oz Powerade bottle that I filled up with Crystal Light drinks or plain water. If I drank two full bottles then I knew I was getting my minimum 64 oz of water in each day.

The first two weeks it seems like a full time job just to keep up on your fluids. Stay on a steady pace and take a sip of something every 10-15 minutes. If you do end up with a full feeling then space things out a bit longer. The desire not to want to eat/drink anything is totally normal. I had no desire the first two weeks for anything.
