Many of us have never felt any restriction on liquids. I've actually drank a full liter of water in under 15minutes, and still can't get in more than 6-8oz of dense Protein 2 CassieKat and odetteNYC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to hear that I'm not doing something wrong since I've hadn't had any issues with getting my liquids in. Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odetteNYC 58 Posted May 14, 2013 Good to know OTR, I was sleeved a week ago and thought there was something wrong with my sleeve since I got a 42 bougie lol . I literally had a nightmare about having a big sleeve woke up in tears. I could drink 20 oz with in minutes no restriction really .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also thought there was something wrong. I drink water, and non carbonated drinks like there is no tomorrow. Thank god I'm not screwing myself up!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melodymouse 196 Posted May 15, 2013 I am so jealous! Drinking Water has definitely stretched my stomach. I have to wait an hour to an hour and a half after eating to start drinking or my stomach blows up like a watermelon. Sounds like one too! Dr said its slow digestion probably caused from scar tissue. Definitely makes it harder to get in that 64!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
