I got sleeved on feb 4th and today I managed to drink 11 oz of Protein shake no problem. Kinda scared that my sleeve was left to big. Any thought?

I think this is a very common concern for newly sleeved. I just had my surgery a week and a half ago, and I have seen the same question come up in other forums. Those who have gotten past the liquid phases all say that with solids you definitely know when you are full, much more than with liquids or soft food.< /p>

This is very common, I did not feel restriction until I started eating the soft foods, I wondered the same thing and then...bam that too full feeling hits you and you never question it again! lol

Perfectly normal! I had no problems with liquids at all. I was drinking almost normally by the evening after my surgery. And shakes were not a problem at all.

I started feeling restriction when I started eating things like Cream of Wheat and oatmeal on the second week. When I finally got to more solid food the restriction kicked in big time. With dense Protein I can only eat a few bites before feeling like I swallowed a brick....

So don't worry- everything is good!

Thanks. I am just a worry type of person I guess. I just want to be healthy and thin.

      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.
