I am 1 week out today. I can drink my 12 oz protein shake in about an hour or less. Is this to much to be taking in?  I have my 1 week follow up tomorrow and thought I would ask the experts here before seeing the expert that actually did it. .  I have not had any problems at all with stricture or nausea.

At one week i was told I could drink 1 oz every 5 minutes which would equal 12oz per hour. I think you're in good shape!!

Hi Bob, I am slower than you. I manage 12 oz in abt an hour and a half. I think you are doing well with one hour! Keep at it!!!

Bob, don't trust how your stomach "feels" to know how much is too much.  The nerves in your stomach have been cut, and you may not know if you are over-stuffing your new sleeve.  Sip your shake very, VERY slowly, perhaps in measured amounts as the above poster suggested.  You are only a week out, so please be very careful.  Best wishes!
