i am one week out and only on clear liquids at the moment. i start full liquids on thursday. i have no problems getting down my isopure (even though i'm so sick of it) and the required amounts of water either. luckily i haven't had any gas pains. i'm worried that once i move on to full liquids and foods that i will start experiencing the symptoms that people keep mentioning - the nausea, gas, etc. i don't think its strange or that your sleeve is too big. i think we are LUCKY!!!! LOL
