Don't worry.....liquid and purees go down easily with a sleeve........wait till you try solid food......you'll be pleasantly shocked!

Ditto what angeeb said, really.

But I also went through exactly the same mental colly wobbles after the op -- particularly why can I drink so much ????

I had some stupid idea in my head that because the sleeve op retains the pylorus valve that it would "hold" liquids in ..... but it sure does not !!

I am now 4 weeks out and my new maximum quantities are:

-- 300 grams of soup
-- 200 grams mushy food (e.g. runny cottage cheese)
-- 100 grams of solid food (e.g. corned beef, chicken, tuna, etc)

The more solid things are the LESS of them I can have, and the more "liquidy" the greater the quantity.

Although I do still have one protein shake or soup per day, I try to make sure my other two meals now are solid food, because I know that I will only be able to have a small amount, and it will keep me full up for a long time.
