Absolutely not. Water passes through your stomach almost immediately. 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

I was actually wondering about this topic going to work this morning. 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!!

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 ..

I have to jump on the bandwagon for this one too. Thank you. 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!!!

Go to my profile blog under size of your stomach. There are a few videos in this post. One of them shows liquids passing through the sleeve.

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!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
