wasabi 57 Posted August 20, 2013 I just accidentally drank my 8 oz shake in 30 min instead of an hour like my doc suggested. It didn't hurt and I felt no restriction. I'm 6 days out. Is this okay? Is it because its a liquid and drains right through my pyloric valve? When will I start feeling restriction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoxFC 175 Posted August 20, 2013 I'm almost one month out...I don't feel any restriction from liquids. I also don't feel restriction from yogurt. But, I definitely feel restriction when I eat my soft foods. I can only eat about 2-3 oz at a time. 2 ShrinkyDinkMe101 and TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Restriction comes as you move through the stages and get to solid foods. 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinsMama 483 Posted August 20, 2013 I agree with the posters above that you will feel restriction as you move toward solids. Still, you need to get in the habit of drinking slowly. I am unlike many and get big restriction even with liquids. I've been nursing my iced chai tea for almost an hour and I'm only half done of those 12 oz. Water is a bit more easily for me to get down but thicker liquids take time. You're still very newly sleeved so go slow. You may feel like you have no restriction but between the soreness, swelling, and meds, you can hurt your tummy and not even know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Esmeralda75 26 Posted August 20, 2013 I was one to never have problems when drinking but if I drink to fast I feel it, I drink my shakes very slow and with ice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindymaried 145 Posted August 20, 2013 I am 3 weeks out and can drink my 11 oz shake in half an hour I can drink a 32 oz Powerade zero in about an hour. My nurse says its fine... I have been able to drink really good no sips for over a week now. I don't gulp but I can take normal size drinks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted August 20, 2013 I also never felt "full" with liquids. now that I'm on soft foods, it takes very little for me to be satiated. I've heard when I'm actually eating regular (like steak, chicken, pork chops, etc) that I'll need even less. Hope thats true cuz the last couple days I've been eating more than the first couple days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
