Should I be concerned?

I'm 6 days post-op, and I drank an 11oz shake in 1 hour 20 minutes. I was just sipping, sipping, and then I realized I finished it.

I don't feel anything - no discomfort, or anything. I feel like i have a normal sized stomach. :(

I have heard several people say that they did not feel restriction until they moved on to solid foods. I wouldn't sweat it. Solid food will be a different story!

Don't worry. I am 8 1/2 weeks out and can drink 100 oz a day. I can drink a 14 oz shake in about an hour, or clear liquids much faster as long as my stomach is empty.

That said, I cannot yet eat 2 oz (1/4 cup) of solid, dense food. Cannot do it. I see folks on here eating 2 or 3 oz plus veggies at 4 or 5 weeks and marvel. But I can drink a lot.

The one lesson - aside from protein drinks as long as you need them (and I still get half my protein from supplements because I have so much restriction) don't drink any calories if you can drink as easily as me.

You're doing fine. I remember at your stage (and for the first month) being scared and worried about every little thing...that passes, I promise!

Honey that shake was going right through you. Do not be concerned. You will start to feel restriction when you get to soft foods. I didn't feel it at 6 days out either....

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!

That shake is just slippin' on through. Wait until you start on dense proteins like chicken breasts and then you will know what restriction is all about! Enjoy each phase of this journey and stop worrying so much. How do you feel?

Always the best wishes, Sue

Anxiety about eating/drinking is all part of it. You're doing just fine.

HA! You're right!

At first, because you've just started on this magical mystery tour and everything is new and strange, you'll probably worry about a lot of stuff. Come here and ask questions or use the search feature. I was surprised what I found when I searched. Every single one of us has been there, done that. Or are getting in line for the ride. Glad you're here,
