Surgeon: Your best guide is your surgeon. Feeling hungry is normal, but with time this sense will diminish.

Every 15 min 1st wk: After a sleeve, most patients drink something every 15 min (or even more often) since it is hard to drink very much each time. Most surgeons allow full liquids for the first two weeks. Then usually puréed for two more weeks. But, always check with your surgeon.
