Is this normal

I'm in my 2 week post op liquid diet. I don't feel any restriction I can eat Popsicle and drink all day and not feel full. I don't get an upset stomach or anything. Is this normal

[JoiaRox 430]

Absolutely. Not only is your stomach farther along in it's healing than it was in the first two weeks, but you aren't consuming solid foods yet. Trust me, each new food type introduced WILL bring you restriction. I'm 6 weeks post-op now and eat MUCH less food in one sitting than I did in the earlier days - that is, of course, when I choose solid foods like chicken!

Yes, it is normal. I started eating chicken at 2 weeks out, but wasn't able to drink too much. Btw, i'm 3 weeks and 3 days out today and eating normal foods.

I second what Joia said

I'm only 3 days post op

As long as you pace yourself with your fluids you probably won't feel full because they will go through you quickly, there is nothing there that has to break down. Once you start on your solids you will notice a big difference on what it takes to make you feel full! Congrats!!!

I was on liquids for a month. I would say you are lucky not normal. It was very hard for me to get all my fluids in because of the restriction even with Water.< /p>

I still can't drink Protein Shakes or eat Jello they make me vomit

FYI - I was amazed at my 6 day post-op checkup when I told my doctor that I had consumed 24oz of Water in the hour drive to his office. I thought that was a lot for someone so recently out of surgery. My doctor didn't bat an eye, and applauded me for having an easy time with liquids.
