Is that bad?? Not alcohol. just brothy soups and protein shakes. Am I going to bust a staple?

If you are comfortable, don't worry about it. I can drink a lot. Water is very dense so it goes through your sleeve easier.

not possible to bust a staple. You would have to be so full to the point of crippling pain before that even could happen. Liquids pass on through. You're fine

You're what? Almost 2 weeks post op? I think you're just fine. We can fit a whole lot more liquid in us as Rod's wife and Mr. Worm mentioned. My protein shakes are 11 ounces and while it would take me 30 minutes or so (at 2 weeks) it was no trouble getting it down.

I'm so happy to hear this. I was worried I was streching myself out already.

I can drink crystal light like its nobody's business and im 2 weeks out

Since I don't know and am not sure, I'd ask that you speak to your dr., nutritionist, bariatric consultant or someone in the medical field to be certain on those guidelines and when you can go beyond 4 oz.s.

There are guidelines to follow to help you make a lifestyle change. And you can stretch your sleeve out.

I'm not sure how leaks happen, what all causes each of them, but I had one and believe me ---- I'd rather make an extra call to pester my dr. or his office or a medical professional than wish a leak or it's effects on anyone else.
