I was sleeved on 5/30/12, so just a little over a week. I'm on liquids. I can drink 90 ounces or more per day with no problem. I take fairly normal sips (not gulps) but normal sips. I feel no problem or restriction. I feel no difference in drinking from before my surgery. Is this ok? Can liquids stretch the sleeve? I did tell my dr that I was drinking 90 ounces a day and he said "great!". Thanks.

My dietician said liquids in, liquids out.. that they have no substance and go right through you.. you are staying hydrated and that is a good thing!!! :)

No liquids can not stretch the sleeve. Keep on drinking, its good for you.

I know a lot of people have trouble getting liquid in early on, but I didn't either. I've always been able to drink just the same as I did before surgery. But there's nothing to worry about, as liquids just flow through the sleeve and don't stretch it at all. You are just one of the fortunate ones!
