not feeling restriction 4 weeks out
I'm 6 weeks out and I too don't really feel any restriction. Really I don't feel much different then before the sleeve. I do watch/measure everything I eat. I have started to eat regular food this week. Kind if feel like I'm on a low carb diet. Again. But spent $14000 to be on this diet.
No issues with fluid intake or protein.
Totally normal. The nerves in your stomach were severed so you can't trust anything it tells you. This is why it's so important to measure everything :)

How much are you eating to say you feel no restriction? I don't know what you're eating at 4 weeks post op because every surgeon's plan is different. Anything of a soup or mushy consistency you will be able to eat a lot more of than say--sliced ham, beef, eggs, cheese, chicken, turkey, etc. A cup of soup or something mushy--not something I would be worried about. If you can eat more than 4-5 ounces of dense protein at 4 weeks out then I would be worried that you may have a large sleeve. Other than that, I wouldn't worry just yet. When you start eating denser foods then you will likely feel much more restriction. Good luck
Eggs are a tricky one. Some people have issues with them, some people don't! Clearly you're one of the lucky ones :)
