How NOT to stretch your pouch?

Hi everyone- I am still pre-op, hoping for WLS in Jan '04 if all goes well. Most of the time I'm pretty excited about it, but with all my diet failures, a little voice inside is nagging me that I'm going to fail at my WLS attempt also :o( I am afraid of stretching my pouch. Not so much in the beginning, but over time. My question is: Long-term post ops, how do you keep from stretching your pouch? Also, if you feel your pouch has been stretched out, how did it happen? I understand it's supposed to stretch somewhat over time, but how much is too much? Thanks a bunch, Mea.
