I haven't heard of it but will pay attention next time. I honestly never feel full/stuffed or like my sleeve can't take in anymore. Its quiet the opposite and I worry that I can take in more liquid when compared to others. 2 oz in 15 minutes is way too little for me. I could probably do double that. I try to do it slowly because I have to and I don't want to mess with my sleeve but its just not cutting it for me right now. I know it'll be different when I get to solids. I might feel fuller then. As of now, its not happening. I don't try to see how much it would take for me to feel full though. Don't want to play with fire.

Don't worry as much about liquids (I mean if you are able to take in more that is pretty normal from many posters), the stomach's job is to hold contents until they are liquid and then pass them into the small intestine. So Water seems to pass right through for some of us and not "fill" the sleeve as long as you don't guzzle. Even today I am noticing as long as I take a breath between each sip and don't guzzle I can drink quite a bit of clear liquid. I had 16 ounces today during a 45 min walk (yesterday it was 8 ounces on the walk). This is going to differ for everyone based on swelling etc, but be aware that liquid freedom can be a downfall if you use high calorie liquids and not just Water or sugar free drink.

I have not heard of that rule but I do know that if I have eaten too much I can NOT take a deep breath or my esophagus feels like it will burst!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
