I finally found my way to the MN specific message board. I think I feel more at home with a smaller group.

Crazy question - I'm one week post op. I'm doing great. But I keep wondering if am pushing the water drinking too much. I'm getting about 50 oz liquid a day. But what if I drink too fast? Will I feel it? Should I be feeling it? Kelly

Welcome Kelly, Don't worry about too much water. You're doing great for 1 week out. Trust me if you were drinking too fast your pouch will let you know. Mine does when I'm not paying attention and forget I have a pouch. I get a real full feeling in my upper chest and it's OK now I remember you're there. Glad to have you here with the MN group. Keep up the good work Kelly! Bonnie

Welcome to the MN boards!

Good job on the fluid intake. That's fantastic. And, yes, if you were drinking too fast you would feel it. You would have pain in your mid chest. And, ouch, does it ever hurt. Good luck on your journey. Lori
