I feel like the volume of the amount of soup has gone up and liquids at one time. I can finish a whole protein drink in 10 mins. I am afraid I am doing something wrong.is it okay for me to be able to drink more at this point? I don't want to do damage to sleeve or stretch it out.

I am three weeks out too (purée/ soft foods) and so can I. Sometimes I can drink my protein 8oz fast (15mins) and sometimes I can't it varies. The other day I was out with my family ( they are visiting) we went to a Chinese restuarant and I had two small pieces of pepper steak, it was really soft and I chewed it over and over. I probably shouldn't have but I went unprepared. I didn't throw up though or felt sick. I felt sick when I had moist chicken breast but thigh meat went down just fine. I can eat baby bel cheese but mozerella cheese sticks feel stuck no matter how much I chew.

I told my nutritionist that I can eat a lot more soup than anything else, and she said that's normal because it's mostly liquid. I am still eating only about 1/4 cup of other foods.

Thanks both of you, was afraid I was stretching the sleeve.

Sleeve does not stretch. The swelling will go down and you will be able to eat a little more. They removed the stretchy part. As the nuse said, liquids go right through. Wait until you try dense protein. You will feel the restriction.
