Liquid Volume vs. Food Volume



Recommended Posts

I had the SADI-S 3 days ago and I can already drink 12 ounces over a 5 minute period. Seems like a lot. I'm hoping I can't EAT 12 ounces! Does anyone know how that works?

liquids go through you much more quickly then solid foods so you don’t get full as quickly. But I do encourage you to go slowly. We’re told to sip (& then to eat slowly) for reasons (e.g. nerves are cut during surgery so messages don’t get through in the same way or at all for a while). At the moment you don’t want to stress or strain your healing tummy & digestive system. Remember all those sutures & staples holding everything together. All because you can doesn’t mean you should.

All the best with your recovery.
