Am I Already Stretching My Pouch?

I am 1 week post op and everything seems to be fine. The problem is that can drink as fast as I choose to and with as big of a gulp as I want too. Of Course I don't want to drink or eat too fast but I'm sure I'm not eating or dinking slow enough. Also I am already eating 1/4 cup of food (mashed potatos, refried beans, grits, bananna, a whole Egg with cheese, etc...) and Soups (non-chunky) are almost unlimited just like water. I can drink 20 - 30 ounces of water in about 15 minuets. I only eat 3 meals of 1/4 cup a day. Am I eating to much? Am I stretching my Pouch? I'm worried!!! Torre

Hi Torre, I had my wls on 04/21 and I'm still on a mostly full liquid diet! Did your surgeon direct you to eat the type of foods you're eating? I know that a few do let their patients eat soft foods early on but at 1 week post-op? As for stretching your pouch, I would certainly ask your surgeon about that. I know that for me eating 3 ozs. of unswtnd applesause leaves me feeling as though I've eaten a 4 course meal! lol! Be well, Cheryl G.
