1 week out tomorrow...too much fluid at once? Oh and HI everyone!

[Hip 2]

Tomorrow will be one week out. I a doing 1 week clear, 1 week full fluids, 1 week puree, then soft...

My concern is I have been sipping sipping sipping. Today I got a medium wawa chicken noodle. They just gave me broth. I ate the whole thing in like 10-15 minutes. I measured it to be around 8-9 oz. Should that have gone in so easily? I didnt feel like I was overful or anything. No issues at all. Does Fluid just go in easy after a week? I guess im concerned with the amount. Seems too much to me but again...no discomfort at all.

At 5:30 I had 6 oz of broth and 2 popsickles that are 20z each then 4 oz of protien drink. I did feel full but no discomfortAll within an hour? Do I just have a bigger stomach or do fluids go right through? Tanks!

OH BTW!! HI!!! LOL. Been reading, I had a band to sleeve revision. Had band in July 2008 and lost 115 pounds roughly. Went from 350 to 235. Gained and lost a bit here and there with band the last year amd was hovering around 245-250. Decided to get sleeve. Lots of reasons....hated band. February 2011 band came off but because of scar tissue was not sleeved. Sleeved last Thursday at 260lbs. Down to 250.

Welcome Hip! fluids just go in and the out of your stomach a lot faster than any mushy or solid would. The stomach is for breaking down food and well Water or fluids do not need to be broken down. You may also be recovering quicker than others with yoru sleeve swelling going down fast. I too was a fast recovery. I found that I had no problem getting in 64 oz of Fluid in a day. Heck I could drink 1 cup (8oz ) of broth in a short period of time maybe 10 mins or less.I learned that it is best if you take small sips and take your time even though you feel you can drink faster. It is better for you in the long run to learn to slow down.

Congratulations on your progress so far.
