I have overdone it a bit when I had my first cream of chicken soup after surgery, and boy was it miserable. I felt really uncomfortable and nauseated; I didn't do that one again. You will just have to take it one day at a time. There are times when I can drink a whole 8 oz. protein shake, and others where I can only do a few sips. I still have times when I just want to eat, even though I'm not physically hungry, it's just an old habit... I really don't miss soda, which I thought I would. Seems like there was something else I wanted to say, but don't remember now, LOL.
As they say, the sleeve is just a tool. I do not regret having the surgery, but it's definitely a lifestyle change and can be rough at times.
