This is something you should talk to your surgeon about. It is different for everyone. Not really sure what you mean by pressure from eating. If you feel pressure you've had too much

I wait a half hour after I finish eating before I start drinking. sometimes more depending on how I feel. Some people do not, but I do find I am more satisfied with my food following this rule. plus Protein fills me up so well I don't really want to drink.

now that being said, I am on some things that I need to take with a meal, so a sip to swallow a pill, or a sip if my mouth is on fire is fine, I just don't drink any substantial amount while eating. I don't really want to, so it is not a problem.

The pressure the first week is pretty intense while the gas from the surgery is still in your body. Every sip or bite causes pressure. As the swelling goes down you are gradually able to eat a little more. However, you should remember and avoid that feeling of pressure because it generally means you've pushed your sleeve to the limit. Try to eat until you are satisfied, not overly full. As far as drinking, I can drink normally now. I even use a straw because it helps me drink more Water.
