I was actually sleeved on August13th. So far no issues at all. I have had no pain or anything. I actually played golf and walked the course 10 days out. As far as liquids no problems at all. Now trying to eat soft foods I just cannot eat that much. 5to 6 oz top's.I found some great info as far as drinking and eating. I guess the issue is if you drink while eating the food leaves your sleeve faster and keeps you less full longer. That is the reason for not drinking during and after eating. Makes sense to me...
