I'm new here and had my plication with dr. v on June 9th. I have lost 16 lbs post op and have been feeling pretty good the last few days. I had horrible gas for 6 days but it has gotten much better. Here is my question...I don't seem to get full if I drink a full cup of liquid within a 5 minute period. If I am really thirsty or hungry and I sit down for some miso soup, I can drink 6-8 ozs. Fairly quickly. I don't gulp it down, I just sip it. Afterward I don't feel full or miserable, just normal. I don't drink this much all the time, just occasionally and only when I am famished.
So, having said all that, do you think it is possible I have stretched my stomach already? Or do liquids tend to vacate the stomach pretty quickly? Any thoughts? Thanks!
