Dear All i have 3 weeks post op. Two Questions for the community:

1- I have started losing a lot of weight in the first two weeks and now have actually gained some even though my food intake is still in the liquid phase. Is this normal, read a lot and its apparently normal.

2- Water consumption, is it normal that fluids flow right through me, i am to gulp a lot of water circa a 500 ml bottle at once and not feel any pain.

I just had a 200 ml protein shake, 7 oz , of liquid alongside 6 oz(170ml) of light very liquid soup and about 400ml(13.5 oz)of water and nothing no pain no feeling of vomiting no pain....is that normal?

I drink water all the time

What kind of surgery did you have? Everyone's restriction is a little different depending on size of pouch and metabolism. I recommend sipping your liquids more slowly, even if you feel like you can gulp without consequences... and as always, call your surgical team or dietician with anything that you think may not be "normal". Best of luck!

Just because you can consume so much liquid at once doesn’t mean you should!
what were your docs guidelines on how much to consume at each meal?
