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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
