Question:
Can you stretch your pouch by drinking clear fluids too fast?

I'm 2 weeks postop and find that I can drink quite a bit of water rather quickly. What is a reasonable amount to be able to drink in an hour's time? I find that I have to force myself to slow down. Can water stretch the pouch or can only solids do this? Thanks.    — Leah B. (posted on January 13, 2001)

from what I understand ... liquid empties out of the pouch very fast so I would say No you can not stretch your pouch by liquids... but i suggest you slow down because drinking to fast might upset your stomach...gulping is hard for me to do good luck
