what do i do about it? Liquid diet again to shrink it? I am at a stall it has been almost 4 months and i have lost 80 lbs. I am not sure if that is good or comparable?? But, i can drink alot of water at once. Sometimes, I guzzle water not thinking... and it usually doesnt do anything to me. is this bad? i just dont want to stretch it out and if i have how do i get it back to the way it should be?? Thanks ahead of time!!

Geez four months? I am worried about eleven days. I have read on the boards about doing a five day pouch test. I am to new to be of any help but wow on 80 pounds.

Hi Lori,  Are you eating more than you should at your meals? or are you just able to guzzle water?  I can somewhat guzzle too, but when I eat something like chicken or some other dense protein I can only eat a little.  I worry about stretching my pouch too.  This has been such a blessing, I just don't want to mess it up.  I usually don't guzzle water, but if I am really parched, sometimes I forget. 

I think you're doing GREAT.  You were beautiful before, but wow girl, you look sssoooooo good.  I am VERY proud of you!

Thanks angy,
   Yes, I can guzzle but I get full fast with chicken or about anything, but then I am hungry again in about a 2 hrs or so... I am not sure if I should be like this already?? I put in a call to the nurse and we will see.... I drink alot of water and do guzzle esp when I am dehydrated~ I am glad I am not the only one. I am going to put up more pics.... so check them out.
   Angy thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate them!! Are u having a hard time sleeping? I am. I dont sleep alot. You are looking really good!!! Dont be a stranger!!
