Hi, I am 13 days PO gastric bypass. For the first 12 days I could barely drink a little more than an oz in 15 mins. This morning for Breakfast I was able to drink 11oz in 30 mins and not feel full. For lunch, I just had some Soup and I was able to eat 9oz in 30 mins. I don’t feel “stuffed” but I am having heart palpations.

Has anyone experienced this? is this normal ?

I think loads of us experience the very same anxiety whilst we're on a liquid diet. The initial jitteriness of your stomach from being cut open and hauled about settles down, and liquids slide right through your pouch and out the other side. I totally convinced myself my surgery had gone horribly wrong.

Please don't worry too much - as soon as you start eating more solid food you will fill up really quickly. Sounds like you're recovering really well :91_thumbsup:

For ME, i discovered i was suddenly able to chug a bottle of Water (400ml) by accident around the 2 week mark (i was thirsty and forgot i was supposed to be sipping)

Prior to that i was sipping my liquids from a 2 fl oz shot glass, probably getting in maybe 250 ml a day.

I dunno if this is “normal” but it happened.

So long as you aren’t in pain or get any adverse effects from drinking liquids, i figure its all good.

Your heart palpitations though.

For ME, heart palpitations means i ate too fast or too much and is the first sign of an oncoming dumping episode.

How about eating/drinking less at one sitting and see if you still get them? Then you could see if there is a co-relation for YOU.

Thank you so much. I feel better reading this. I feel like it was from me eating too fast and too much. For two weeks, I’ve just “sipped”. My “meals” take about 2 hours to finish. I got carried away today.
