So my doctors kept telling me an ounce every 15 minutes for the few week after surgery. I had my surgery Monday, I am home and feel completely fine and I haven't had a problem with sipping for two days. I still take much smaller sips than I did before, but it's nothing for me to finish my 8 oz Protein shake in 20-25 mins flat with small, frequent sips. I have no tightness at all, and when I so I stop taking sips for a few mins and keep taking small sips.
One the one hand it seems really good that it's easy and I'm not struggling to stay hydrated like others, but watery pudding and hot Cereal and jellos and other liquids are yet to be a problem, so I guess I'm just worried that I can't feel the damage I'm doing because of nerve damage and I'm going to give myself a leak. I try to take my sips less frequently but I keep thinking if it doesn't hurt why not finish a Protein meal in 20-30 mins then why not....soups and hot cereal are better hot than cold. I just feel I'm doing too well. Is it possible that I can just chalk it up to youth and being 25 with no other help problems than being obese, or am I cruising for a rupture and staple leak?? Help?!?!
