Sarah78_RN 66 Posted February 24, 2013 So I was tired of having plain beef broth so I heated up some veggie beef Soup and strained it. It is a bit thicker in consistency and boy did my sleeve let me know. I was getting a bit worried that I was taking liquids so well without any restriction. Good to have the confirmation....

SoCalDixieGal 172 Posted February 24, 2013 It could also be that you're still very much healing. When I started the Protein Shakes I couldn't stomach the pre-mixed ones without thinning them out quite a bit. Now at 2 weeks out, they're okay straight from the box/bottle. Slowly though!

buffythefatslayer 66 Posted February 24, 2013 I am on day 5 and I had a thicker based Soup with no problems. I can tell when too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarah78_RN 66 Posted February 24, 2013 I had no problems getting it down. It was just awesome to feel the fullness for the first time since surgery. I've been taking thin liquids great but not feeling any restriction. It was cool to see that with just a bit thicker consistency my stomach noticed and told me.....I'm probably not making much sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cartmansnj 105 Posted February 24, 2013 I am about 4 weeks out. I usually have about 2 oz of pureed food and get full. I think there was one time where I was able to get 4 oz in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will have that experience at each stage. Or should I say I have. Best Wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
