pouch dilation?
I don't know if it can cause pouch dilation but someone explained to me once that our pouch are like funnels with an openning that DRAINS into the intestine. Assuming you are not eatting and drinking together, the fluid should run straight through. Thats they they tell us not to eat slider foods and not to eat and drink together. My NON doctor answer. LOL. That being said, I can drink lots of fluids with no effort. I have other WLS friends who swear they can only drink three sips. Go figure.

I would think this could happen only if you eat and drink together making your pouch swell up, but it is normal to have your pouch grow to a 8oz +size.
Fizzy drinks might cause somewhat of a gas dilation but I would think that would cause the foamies to happen more often than actual dilation but some push thier own limits and will continue to do the carbonated drinks so I an thinking this could happen eventually with over abuse of the pouch.
I feel my drinks run through my pouch sometimes and must admit it feels pretty weird to feel it slip right through me !!
