Now I'm panicking!!!

[Montana]

Just had the bariatric nurse on the phone asking me how things are etc. She was saying to me that I should be drinking 50ml of fluid every fifteen minutes. Going by that reckoning it should take me around 2hrs to finish a slimfast but it's taking me around 30-40 minutes and I never feel full! Have I already gone and stretched my new stomach to accept more than it's supposed to?!?!?

I'm freaking out now!!

hun you havnt stretched it< fluids go right through.. but you do need to drink at least 1 litre (1000ml) of fluids per day... the first week you will find that dfficult, but it does get easier. Get a small water bottle and fill it up with water or with no added sugar squash and just keep sipping through the day xx

Thanks guys! I'm sipping my way through about 1.5 litres of sugar free squash a day at the moment plus my 'nutritious drinks' which are including thin soup, slimfast, complan etc. I was just freaking out that by the nurses calculations it should be taking me two hours to drink something that only takes me 40 minutes maximum! If it took me two hours to drink each 'nutritious' drink i'm supposed to be drinking i wouldnt have enough time in the day to drink water too!!

Within a couple of hours of coming round the Surgeon said I could have free fluids, so I had a Large Americano from Costa coffee. Now I am nearly 6 weeks out and have very good restriction, stop panicking, I don't think a slim fast will stretch your pouch. x
