I was sleeved on 9/20 and I have been very cautious about not drinking too fast so that wouldn't be uncomfortable. Today I have been taking larger drinks without discomfort, so I was wondering if I am not feeling the full sensation. Right now, I'm still having gas pains and incision pain, and a lot of gas movement/sounds so maybe I can't get a good idea of what it feels like because of everything else going on? Thoughts? Similar experiences? Thanks!

I haven't had any discomfort with liquids yet. I have to force myself to just take a few small sips, because I am so used to chugging my water.

My uneducated guess is that your swelling has gone down so you can take bigger sips. Post op (8/22) I couldn't sip more than a half tsp without pain. Now I can usually take 2-3 normal sips ok.

Woaaaah I have the exact same issue as you.

I was also sleeved on 9/20 and I have had severe discomforts with liquids. I still have a bit but it is not as bad.

I was sleeved on 9/20 also and I haven't had any discomfort drinking either. Like you I have been very cautious. I have slight indigestion and little soreness but over all feel really good so far.

The only liquid I'm not able to get in at a faster speed is the Premier protein shakes and I think that's because they're thick. When it comes to any clear soups or any warm liquids I am able to get those down at a much faster rate and I don't feel any fullness Sensation from them. So I'm guessing the warmth of the soup helps it go down much smoother I'm not sure.

I 5th this too! post op 9/19 and I could hardly sip anything now I can take 2-3 sips back to back without any discomfort but the protein shake take me way longer to drink!

I am about 8 weeks post op. I didn't feel restricted with drinking at all. Not much with purée but come soft phase to normal, I feel the restriction......a lot.
