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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
