I think it varies by person. Some doctors leave a slightly larger sleeve than others too. As long as it doesn't hurt and you stop when you are full you should be ok.

I'm only six days post op and can drink a half cup of Soup at one time in less than ten minutes and I have two cups of soup a hot chocolate and a Protein Shake all in one day with lots of Water and six Popsicles ( all bariatric or sugar free of course). I worry it is too easy for me to get this all in!!

I am 12 days post op and can eat 1/4 cup of Soup or 1/4 cup Beans but I can eat a whole sugar free Jello. I have trouble getting all my liquids in but I keep trying. I've yet to finish a Protein Drink. I can't wait to be able to eat some fish or eggs. I just don't like the Protein Drinks too much.

That's because they are disgusting! Try making your own, ala eggface (www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com).

Just wait till you get to start eating dense Protein, you will only be able to get a few in before you feel full!

With purees you probably won't feel too full due to their texture (they "slide" right through not unlike liquids). I would just make sure not to eat more than about 4 oz at once. When you get into soft foods and more dense Protein you will start to get your "full" feeling. Even that varies from person to person.
