Question:
Help!!I had gastric bypass 11/12/08 and I can drink way more than 2-3 sips
of water. I can drink a whole glass and still go when it comes to water is this ok? my surgeon started me on soft foods. I exercise 5days a wk and I do alot of walking. He was not very clear on how much soft foods and I don't want to over do it so should it be a saucer or less than that? 365.6 day of surgery/344lbs 1 wk later/current 340.6 — ms.angie (posted on December 1, 2008)

Water goes right through you so you can drink lots. I wouldnt worry about
water. At 3 weeks out I was eating about 1/4 cup of soft foods. I couldnt
eat more than that if I tried. I am not only up to 1/2 to 3/4 cup now of
food and I am 5 mts out. (That is solid food). I am sure you are doing
fine. Keep up the good work.

I am a few days away from you and I can also drink more than a few sips.
Although not my carnation instant breakfast ( yuck). Good luck.

I has gastric bypass December of 2005. In November 2006 and 140 lbs down,
I found out I was expecting twins. I was told that I had pcos and would
need fertility treatments to concieve (dont believe that.......I did not).
Anyhow the pregnancy stretched my outlet, not the pouch and I noticed I
could eat more and/or the food and beverages were going right through me.
After a few months I went to my surgeon out of concern and she sent me for
an endoscopy too look at everything. It is rare but this can happen and it
did to me. I had a great surgeon and she is fixing the problem for me. So
my point is that it is probably normal what you are going through but if
this continues, I would check it out because it could be something.

I had RNY back in August 2008, and I can drink tons of liquid. Just don't
do it at meal time. If you have to have something thing only take a tiny
sip. Good luck

Sorry I kind of goofed...if you have to have something at mealtime when you
begin eating soldis, only take a tiny tiny sip. Keep up the good work and
drink all the fluids that are on your allowed list

I wouldn't worry too much about the amount of liquids. Just don't gulp. I
would try to limit food to no more than 1/2 cup at this point. That amount
will increase. If you have to have a drink with a meal just a sip or two.
