Feeling a bit concerned

[bosslayde 0]

My bypass surgery was Monday and I'm not struggling to get all the fluids down. Granted in not hungry and I'm drinking per my Dr's instructions. Should I be worried that I'm not struggling to get all my fluids down? I know it sounds silly but all I have heard and read said I would have problems getting my liquid (shakes & water) down. Am I stressing over nothing?

It's great you're not struggling!!!

I didn't have the 'I'm full' sensation until about 2 weeks after surgery. Of course, I was only drinking liquid then, but could drink it really fast - - until one day when all of sudden I could not eat or drink even the 2 oz. I was supposed to - - so the struggle might come a bit later for you - just be aware of what it is when it comes - and be sure you eat and drink slowly now to practice - otherwise you might be up-chucking the overage of food or liquid - not pretty - or a good thing as - if you are like me - you won't want to go near that food or drink for a very long time!

Don't stress. This is your normal. As someone else said, this might change soon so make sure you are always drinking slowly, eating slowly and really chewing (when you get to real food).

Congrats on your surgery and best of luck.
