how much liquid can a newly sleeved stomach hold?

I am newly sleeved and seem to be able to drink fluids with no problem. I'm scared to stretch out my new tummy, but seem to be able to take in more liquids / soup than I thought. Do u know how much liquid it can hold without causing any damage?

    Liquids go right through and won't stretch anything! Hope that helps. Someone posted a video on utube a while back where the doctor actually showed how it works.....might google it and see if you can find it.

    consider yourself lucky...

    unless it is warm or room temp- I can hardly drink...

    I have been sipping all day, and still a bit dehydrated...

    ok, so ppl say that liquid goes right through us, but then why is it that we still can not chug a bottle of water.?? Small sips for what reason??

    I am 8 days post op and had my first doctors visit today. I was told that my new stomach would hold around 4 oz. of liquid at a time. I can now drink like normal but NO chugging it down. I was told that until I'm about 6 weeks out, it is possible to bust my staple line if I intake too much liquid at one time, especially thicker liquids like pureed bean soup, etc. I was also told it should take me about 10-15 minutes to get down 4 oz. ....to pace myself but that I no longer had to sip..wait...sip...wait
