Why can I handle so much fluid so soon?

I am only 11 days post op. I was all prepared for the struggle to get fluids in, but it hasn't happened. Good for me, right? Well, forgive me for being a worry wart, but I'm afraid I'm taking in too much?? I can easily finish an 8oz bowel of creamed soup in half an hour. A 20 oz bottle of H2O, down in an hour no problem. I'm going to assume I haven't perforated or leaked from my pouch because I feel well, no fevers, no belly pain, etc. Is it that the fluid is literally running through and not sitting in the pouch?? I don't want to stretch my pouch out, but when I drink water or broth like this it's not like I feel over distended or full even. I just don't want to mess up my surgery. I'm glad fluids aren't a struggle, but why am I able to take in so much and it's so terribly difficult for everyone else? Is my pouch outlet bigger than others? Have I already stretched my pouch out?? I've been a good girl on sticking with the clears and full liquids. I don't get it.

I had my surgery on the 7th and can also handle lots of fluids.

me too ! I feel like my stomach is no different. I'm worried too ! Laura

I feel the same way. I'm thinking that our pouch outlets may be bigger than other people's. I don't really get that very full feeling either, but I'm hoping that when I graduate to real food that there will be a different sensation since the food isn't passing through my stomach so quickly. I even have been eating with my tiny demitasse spoons, and it does help me to eat slower, but I'm still able to drink what I think is quite a bit and at this point, I feel that I could eat more than what my doctor's plan allows. I'm sticking to their guidelines though, and I don't really feel hungry (except occassionally, I feel like my blood sugar might be low), but I agree with other posters that sometimes it doesn't feel like I had the surgery done. They told us in our pre-op education class that we would feel full on two tablespoons of food, but I'm still waiting for that to happen. I guess everyone truly is different, and I think as long as we can stick to our doctors' plans then everything will go as it should. It's a bit scary for me though to think how things will be when it's time to maintain the loss. On a happier note, at least the weight is coming off. Amanda
