Able to drink more fluids than I was told

[Jai Marie 8]

Hi all... I was sleeved Sept 1st so im 12 days out. Around the 6th/7th I noticed I was able to drink way more than the 8oz per hr and regular 'sips' (not gulps tho).. Im able to get about 16oz of Water in per hr.. as far as my myoplex Protein Shake, it still takes me about most the day to get in the 17oz (most likely because the Protein makes me full). Also I never vomited once since I've had my surgery... was just concerned that Im able to drink 'a lot' ..is this normal?

I'm about 17 days out and I asked my doctor the same question on day 14. He said that it was not a problem. I was told that some peoples stomachs empty fluids faster than others and that I was not harming my sleeve in any way.

It is totally fine! I too could drink and drink after surgery and can now at 4 months out. I have never had an issue.

liquids just run through and will give us NO restriction what so ever if they are just Water like. Be glad that you can drink more. You will not get dehydrated!

I was sleeved Aug 29, I just left work a few minutes ago and I had half a Protein Drink left and so I guzzled it, no problem. I prefer getting them down quickly and getting it out of the way instead of sipping all day. How much have you lost so far? I've lost 12lbs, but the scale has been stuck for 4 days now. How are you feeling and what are you eating?

I weighed myself 8 days out and was 15lbs down.. weighed myself again yesterday (11 days out) and was another 5.6 lbs down. I was on ensures high Protein 'shake' last week (25g protein per 14oz bottle).. Now im on this Myoplex that has 42g protein per 17oz bottle. I've advanced really really quickly..was off my pain meds about 4 days out. I'll try to get half a bottle of Isopure in on days but the taste is unbearable (which is why I went to ensure/myoplex). I wont lie tho today at lunch (about 2.5 hrs ago) I had about 4 teaspoons of refried Beans (satisified my craving for sum food) and I am still stuffed (not uncomfortable or in pain..just satisfied). I've emailed my dr office asking ..moreso requesting that I be advanced to mushies since im doing so well LOL...no response yet.

Besides my incisions, I have no other syptoms that I have been sleeved. I joked with my mom and said that after I loss the weight they would say "see you didnt need the sleeve you did it on your own" lol!!! I too can drink about eight to ten ounces since day one (Aug 29th). I still cant get my Proteins in though. Im glad to see that its not a problem, I just keep imaging bubbles floating from my sleeve lol!!
