I'm 5 days Post Op and I had already lost 10lbs, it's pretty awesome. But the thing is I have having absolutely no problems getting liquid down. I can get 300 ml (about 10oz) of liquid down in about 10-15 minutes (And I think I might be able to drink faster, but I'm not going to over do it) with no discomfort or anything whatsoever. When my mother did the surgery she had a very difficult time getting liquids in and would feel full and discomfort easily. We both had the same surgeon. Does it have something to do with the age? (I'm 19, she's 52). I don't know. Any replies would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
