 Hi.  I'm three weeks post surgery.  It's hot here lately.  I am really struggling with eating.  Would rather drink.  I have not ever pushed my limits as far as feeling full from food.  But liquids is a different story!! Will I stretch my pouch? Maybe I need a kick in the pants to slow down.  My hardest thing since surgery.

 Fluids will not stretch your pouch. Drink drink drink! It's a good thing.

 Drinking is good, however you should start with foods....you are right not to push the limit.  With the heat, the best you can do is stay hydrated.  Make sure you are drinking some protein....try some muscle milk light....it helped me last summer when it was warm!

You can't stretch your pouch by drinking.  There is an opening at the bottom of your pouch called the stoma.  Liquids run right through.
