Did I stretch my pouch?


Recommended Posts

I was rereading the instructions today (day 7 of surgery) and I just noticed that I am only supposed to be drinking 1/2 a cup at a time. I think I have drank more than 1/2 a cup of clear liquid at a time. Should I be concerned? I am just worried that I might have stretched my pouch. :(

I doubt you have stretched your pouch. There have been a number of times where I felt like I overate (or overdrank, while on the liquid diet), and was afraid I'd stretched my pouch. However, I have since met a band patient who actually did have a stretched pouch, and my understanding is that pouch-stretching is something that happens gradually, over a period of chronically overeating and not following the rules, not because of isolated times here and there. If in doubt, call your doctor.
