One Week Out And I Feel Very Little Liquid Restriction

[alexb 9]

Is this normal? I feel like I can drink forever. Not gulp, but definitely am able to drink a cup of broth in fifteen or twenty minutes? Help & thanks!!

Yup, those Clear Liquids pass right through your stomach, so they don't occupy any space.

Same happened to me. You are one of the lucky ones No worries.

Oh be glad! At least you don't have to worry about getting dehydrated. I think some of that has to do with how swollen your stomach got from the surgery and whether or not you had a hiatal hernia repair. I can get my fluids down ok but I sure do feel it if I take in more than an oz in 5 minutes.
