What is there to worry about? You're fortunate! Keep doing what you're doing!

Lucky you! There's nothing wrong with that. Just means you don't have quite as much swelling and inflammation as some other folks. You are one of the lucky ones!

I guess I was just worried I would be able to do the same with food later on

liquids pass right through the sleeve within a matter of seconds. I was lucky enough to get to watch my barium swallow test on a live x-ray post-op and it was literally just straight through my sleeve, like pouring Water through a hose. The only reason some people experience restriction with fluids in the early days post-op is because some people have significant swelling and inflammation in their sleeve and/or esophagus. Trust and believe that you will feel SIGNIFICANT restriction once you are onto more substantial foods.
