Worried....

[leelee345 9]

I got sleeved on the 16th of May so I am 13 days post op weight I've noticed for the last 5 days I'm able to drink a lot more Water at a time before 2 oz took me 30 minutes but I am getting down close to 8 oz in an hour now. I'm sipping it so much I don't even realize how much is going down because I am ALWAYS feeling thirsty for water now. It still takes me an hour to drink 4 oz of Protein Shake. I also noticed that I am not getting that like full stuffed feeling like I was getting after an oz of anything....I'm scared that I stretched my new stomach with all the water I've been drinking.....should I be worried???

Don't be worried.

I had my 2 wk f/u appt today and told Dr liquids were going down fine now. Can drinking more or at normal speed hurt anything? He said, no, liquids pretty much go through your stomach and you won't feel restriction. As long as they are no cal or low cal, drinking is a good thing!

He did say not to drink for 45 mins after a meal.

Don't forget that everything is swollen after surgery. Your new sleeve is also swollen which is why it gets easier to drink as you heal. Hang in there and take a deep breath!

You will notice MAJOR restriction when you start solids.
