10 days out-- questions!

I had the sleeve done 4/23, I'm still on liquid diet. I'm so confused, because i hear about the "honeymoon period" where you're not hungry at all, and this hasn't been my experience AT ALL!!! I feel like im starving.

Also, in the last few days, liquid has been going down so much easier! Too easy?!? I can drink 8-10 oz of broth in one short sitting. Am i stretching out my pouch already?

And I do not have trouble at all meeting my water goals. I put mio (calorie free flavor) in my water, and i can drink it just fine! I mean not CHUG IT, but i can do a decent gulp without it hurting my stomach like it did in the first few days. Is this bad?!?

I don't see my surgeon again until the 9th (6 more days).

    I actually have an incredible amount of energy, even just on liquids. Im walking so much more already than i was before the surgery! Maybe that's a good sign?

I was sleeved on the 25th, and have had no real hunger and I’ve had a challenging time getting in fluids.

I have heard of others having an experience more like yours, though.

I had self-doubts in the begining, but now I am 8 months out, I have lost nearly 100 pounds since surgery, 140 since my highest recorded weight. This is at 73 years old and the Baseline Metabolism Rate of a Sick Sea Snail. I had a bunch of minor struggles so I didnt bounce back rapidly as most. But my body finally caught the reducing big and I am rocking it. Started out in 28 and 30W, I am now a 20 and soon heading for an 18 because my slacks, which I got on clearance at Wal-Mart, unless I can sew belt loops on, they are coming close to falling off, especially if I take a deep breath in and I find it fantabulous. Don't remember when I was THIS SMALL- maybe after Tomkitten's birth and he will turn 40 on the 12th of June. Oh I have some saggy stretched skin, but it is controlled- able and nothing beats being so much smaller. I used to have a BIG BOOTY, belly still loose but my rump is getting toward normalcy, maybe that's why my pants are falling
down, I no longer have a fat shelf to hang them from! ???
