Ok all you bandster pros!

I am 5 days post op and feeling awesome .

Of course still on liquids but have a question.......I cannot tell if I have a band. There is no different in drinking than before surgery!

I am not hungry but do you think I can stretch the pouch drinking to fast?

You don't have any fill at this point. But you don't want to traumatize your new tummy by gulping down gobs of liquids. Sip, sip, sip no gulping or chugging. I have never heard of anyone stretching their pouch by liquids only by over eating and not following the guide lines.
