[jpov821 79]

I'm having a reg sized bowl of strained Chinese hot n sour soup!!!!! My taste buds are in heaven!!!! But still very surprised that I can drink as much of Soups and broths as I can. Good news... I'm 18 lbs down since day 1 of my pre op. 5 of which I've lost since surgery!

That's awesome!!! Congrats!! I'm actually about to have a bowl of strained Lipton chicken noodle Soup

That's great. Keep the nerves away as long as possible! They don't do anything to help us. Lol.

I'm bipolar and also suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm so surprised that I've not freaked out. I'll save that for tomorrow

Yeah. I remember you telling me that a while back. Just count the calm as a much needed break/blessing before surgery. And be on here as much as possible. It has been so helpful for me!

Is anyone else being able to drink that much Fluid?

[vanceheather5 69]

I measured it and its 1.5-2 cups at a time. It takes me about 30 mins to eat it but I'm really worried.

I'm only 4 days post op. So I can only do about 2oz every 15-20 minutes. Everyone is different.

I can drink a lot too

It's very scary! I don't want to be able to eat that much! Otherwise the surgery was pointless!

[jpov821 79]

I'm hoping its only because it is liquids right now. Hopefully once there's also some substance with the liquids it'll make us feel fuller without the quantity

I'm 12 days out and I can drink like that too. I think maybe our new stomachs didn't swell as much as others. I know I've been able to take regular swallows since day of surgery. I'm grateful it's been this easy to get the liquids in

Not me. I am 10 days post op and it takes me an hour to drink a cup of flavored water and if I try to drink my Proteins too fast my stomach cramps up an I get nauseous. So it is still sip, sip,sip for me. The good part is I am down 10lbs since surgery.

[jpov821 79]

So I did my 1 week post-op weigh in and I'm down 14.5lbs since surgery!! That's a total loss of 30.2lbs since I started my pre-op!! Super happy!!
