10 days out is this normal?

[carlychloe2 106]

I had my sleeve done on the 11th of April. Everything went really well, not much pain at all. However Im not sure if this is normal for 10 days post op. I am having no problem drinking or eating. Example, I can eat entire yogurt in one sitting. I also seem to be able to take decent size of sips at one given time. I would love to hear from others. Is this normal?

Everyone heals at different rates. Continue being cautious in case your stomach can't feel the whole story. Sounds like you are doing well!

When you eat the yogurt and other things, are you eating slowly? If it's a small yogurt, it might be normal to be able to eat the whole thing. The thing to keep in mind is that you want to eat very slowly so that you know exactly when enough is enough. I personally could not have eaten a whole small yogurt at 10 days post op.

As far as the drinking goes, I never had any problems at all with drinking since day 1. I was getting in my 64 ounces plus almost from day one. A lot of people have trouble with that, so it's great that you are doing so well with it.

Congratulations on your surgery!

I'm 10 weeks out. I've been able to take large sips of Water since surgery. But your nerves in your tummy are still in shock and may not be registering pain/fullness yet. I'd take it easy for now. Just because you can does not mean you should. This is the "honeymoon" stage. Take full advantage of it.

I'm 2 weeks out and it's hard to get all of my Water in. I actually can have pureed and pieces of meat like turkey or chicken ground...but no beef yet. My blender broke so I ended up eating small pieces and chewing until it was baby food consistency before swallowing. I feel like I'm cheating ...
