ShawnZ 17 Posted October 26, 2017 I had my sleeve done two days ago. When I was in the hospital I could only hold down an ounce or two... Then I was stuffed. Since then, I can get about 4 ounces of Fluid down... I'm wondering if this is normal? Should I be worried about stretching it? I know I had lots of gas in my system. That might have limited me?

KarenOR 180 Posted October 26, 2017 There is no way you can stretch out your sleeve with liquid. It goes through too quickly. It's the same reason that people don't feel full on liquids and wonder why they aren't getting signals. You need to keep drinking fluids to avoid dehydration so just keep going, little at a time. 1 ShawnZ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenOR 180 Posted October 26, 2017 Let me add that if you drink it quickly, you can feel the back up but it goes away quickly in my experience. It's definitely a different feeling than food . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted October 26, 2017 You're also feeling the swelling going down. It will continue to do so and you will feel your capacity expand for about six months or so. Totally normal. 1 Sunflowers725 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
