Fluid Intake

I'm 7days posts op and have been on a semi clear liquid diet. It seems as though I can drink all day long large amounts of fluids and never feel full. Is this normal? Can we drink as much as we want and not stretch our pouch or should I only be drinking 2oz of fluid like every 15 minutes. I know this has all been told to me a million times but since the surgery things have felt a little overwhelming and I am just trying to get everything situated back out. Thanks

I am 5 days post op and I feel the same way you do. I have been looking for a site on here to help me cope with the drastic changes of eating, but I am willing to do what I have to do. I can't tell you that I have had any hunger pain at all? Am I drinking enough? If you get some answers, I would love to hear back from you. Thanks, Cindy

Fluids do not stay in our pouch. They basically run right through it, thats why you can drink large amounts. Do not worry it wont stretch your pouch. Patty
