HI GUYS, I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW ABOUT HOW BIG YOUR POUCH CAN REALLY GET. THIS IS ONE QUESTION I WILL ASK MY DOCTOR AT MY NEXT APPT. BUT I AM CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. FOR ONE I HEARD THAT IT CAN ONLY GET TO 8OZ AND THEN I HEARD YOUR POUCH CAN GET AS BIG AS YOUR STOMACH. SO GUYS HELP ME OUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK AND ALSO HOW IN THE HELL YOU CAN GAIN BACK ALL OF YOUR WEIGHT IF YOUR EATING LIKE A BIRD EVEN IF YOUR EATING THROUGHOUT THE DAY? THANKS GUYS, JUST CURIOUS

Well have u heard of the new fad about TOFU...it is supposed to pull the elasity in ur skin back and cause the hanging skin to disappear. If you go to the PittsburghChannel.com, there is a story of a women who did not excerise and incorporated tofu into her diet. She was her heighest weight of 292 and now she is 125 with no hanging skin or anything. I saw her, she looks wonderful. You should try for that, I am going to try it when I am allowed to eat whole food. Great question by the way!!! Thanks, Charla

I've heard that your "natural" stomach can be as large as 32 oz or more and that your new pouch should get up to around 8 oz during the normal progression. How do you gain weight back with an 8 oz pouch? Two things...grazing all day and soft calories (things that flow through the pouch easily...no solids that have high calorie counts). Best wishes, Kathy

Kathy; Good to see your face!!!!! Sure didn't take you long to get over your surgery. LOL - bet you are still taking it easy - how is it going?
