Water and Newly Post-op

I'm a week post-op and doing well.  When I was in the hospital, they taught me to sip small amounts of water.  I'm a big water drinker pre-op.  So I've been taking bigger sips.  I don't feel a fullness or tighness.  Sometimes I wonder if by taking too big of sips I've stretched my pouch already.  When I eat cream soup, I can feel the fullness after a little while.  Is it just tha****er moves through much easier?  Thanks, Dolly

   I worried about that too right out of surgery. But I can put the water away. Gulps even, and it doesnt bother me. And I can tell you it never stretched my pouch! I know some people can drink lots and some struggle to get it down. I was told as long as it did not cause discomfort that it was ok to keep drinking

Being able to take big sips is a good thing. You will be able to get in all your water. Many after surgery find getting all their water in hard. You will not stretch your pouch with water.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease!  You guys are the best!!
