Should I only be drinking 4oz. of protein shake if it's a meal or because it's liquid can I have it all? I have been going over 4 oz. at my meals, will i stretch my pouch already? Only 2 weeks out, down 21 lbs. but need to eat so I'm not hungry!!

It is my understanding that liquids go through the sleeve fairly quickly so you can drink more than 4 oz at a time. Food stays in the sleeve longer and so if your doc says 4 oz...you better stick to 4 oz. Your sleeve will let you know if you have 1 bite too many. When I was 2 weeks out I was on liquids anyway and I drank all I wanted (could stand!) to make sure I got the protein and fluids in.

even if the liquid is like a Soup or something else opaque? I am trying to stick to the 4 oz. but sometimes still feel hungry. I don't want to stretch my sleeve but I do want to make sure my body has all the fuel it needs. I exercise alot. Even at 2 weeks out, I'm back to cardio drills class and even a little running today. So, what do you think, eat a snack or two? Thanks for your help!!!
