dollbaby1969 7 Posted January 19, 2013 I am recently sleeved-officially 1 week and 1 day today! I know plenty of bypass people but few sleevers. So it is hard to find folks to talk to who share my experience and I have questions. I have run several scenarios through my mind and just wonder if my sleeve is acting 'normally', or at least like someone elses. I have heard of people who say they feel full after 1 or 2 oz of liquid or Water. I sip all the time to get in my Proteins and liquids. I have noticed that I 'feel' Protein Drinks more than water or sugar free drinks. I guess it is because the Protein drinks are heavier? Anyway, I feel when it passes through my stomach. That's when I know I have taken too big of a swallow. But I can usually feel the protein with an average sip. But once it moves through I can sip again. It takes a while to get everything down. I nurse a Protein Shake for several hours. But water seems to go right down. I don't feel discomfort. I don't get 'full'. So I guess everything is okay. I am just wondering how other sleevers 'feel'?

gmanbat 5,889 Posted January 19, 2013 That's about how it was for me at your stage. I noticed that I had to burp a bit after every swallow of Water. I could hardly get any down at first. I am a year out and sometimes I can't take much water, sometimes I can. Thicker stuff always makes more of an impression. Some things go down pretty easy, normally juicier foods.

Quickly 45 Posted January 19, 2013 I am 11 days post op and have the same feeling. Although yesterday I was able to eat a whole pudding cup:). I am afraid to open up that staple line. I just take my time. Every day gets easier. I am craving real food... I think its all in my head!! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dollbaby1969 7 Posted January 19, 2013 Wow! A pudding cup! I look forward to the day when I can do that. They say I can have sugar free Jello. I have not managed that one. It just felt bad going down. I am doing the great with the liquids though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickly 45 Posted January 19, 2013 Give it time. I want to say day 6 things got easier. Today, I was out doing errands and got real fatigued! Stopped at a smoothie store and got a high Protein low carb smoothie. It was vanilla with bannana and Protein Powder, it helped sooo much!! I can not wait until my menu gets easier, I sip on Water all day but, need to pack yougart and protein drinks in a small cooler bag!! Time gets away when you are out.
