I am confused about post op water intake.

Somehow I got confused about liquid intake. I know not to drink before I eat or after for about an hour. I know that I am suppose to sip water and not use straws but sometimes I catch myself gulping a couple of times. I wait a little bit before I take some more but my question is....will too much liquids stretch my pouch. I know it goes thru it pretty quickly, it just doesn't just sit there. It just seems like between the shakes and other water intake I made myself have a brain fart. I am starting my third week post op. Is this just a time period to let my stomach heal? Is that why I have to sip?
