7 days post op... concern

[anewme17 3]

I am wondering, how many ounces at a time should I be drinking my Protein Shake? I am getting down 11.5oz of Premier Protein shake within an hour. Is that too much at a time? Don't want to be dramatic but would this cause my sleeve to stretch due too much liquid?

I am doing 12 oz during the whole day, as per my doctor only 4 oz at a time. Today I started puree food m, so I was able to do 1.5 oz of chicken and potatoes. Plus of course my Protein, Water, tea and jello

You will not be able to stretch the stomach with liquids. 11oz in an hour isn't too much - that is less than 2oz every 10 mins. Liquids will drain quickly from the stomach - so it really is a matter of what is comfortable.

That is about right. Can you feel it if you have too large of a sip or sips too close together?

I haven't felt sick by taking too big of sips, or feel full. This is why I was worried about stretching. I know some people say stage 2 don't feel the "full" feeling. Once you get to stage 3, when actually digesting food that's when you actually feel the full feeling.
