I was sleeved the 31st and I don't seem to have a limit on liquids. I can't gulp, but it seems like I can drink a lot. Some people were talking about a medicine cup full every half hour or something, I can just keep going. Is this a bad thing? Will all this change once I can eat? Thanks for any thoughts.

I was sleeved on the 23rd and I was the same . I still can drink all I want but my food intake is very limited.

Same here, too. Sleeved on 10/22 and as long as it's Water consistency, I don't seem to be limited by this 2-4 oz thing on liquid. I've noticed though, the thicker something is, the less I can tolerate. So Soups, puddings, solids... there's a definite limit before my body goes "okay no more!"

I don't think this is a bad thing. When you are still in the hospital they expect that you will only be able to tolerate medicine cup size helpings of liquids. However, as your stomach heals, it should tolerate liquids much better. It just sounds like your body has really healed.

I'm losing between 4 and 5 pounds a week on average right now, but I had a very high start weight. I'll lose a pound or so then lose nothing for a couple days, then lose some more.

      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.
