What Damage can be done to the Pouch by Vomitting?

My doctor told me to be careful about getting sick and not to induce it. I am only 5 weeks post op. I have not yet been put on soft foods, I am in the pureed stage. I have been bad and experienced with soft and not pureed my food for about two weeks. I do however chew until its mush. I do measure my foods. I only eat about two or three 2 oz meals a day but take a protein drink, eat vits. I tried some shrimp yesterday. For some reason I got sick. I think I did not chew enough. I have no sense of full until it is to late. I hurt and get sick. I have only done this about 4 times since surgery. This am I had 3 pecans and one cashew. I had gas so bad. I had to take medicine. It did not work. So I gagged and I feel much better now that I got the nuts out of my tummy. What kind of damage am I doing to my stomach. Another post said they are not stretching it. And why do I through more than 2 oz. ? It was like a fountain. Where did all that liquid come from? I think I stretched my pouch along time ago with fluids. I don't eat enough to stretch it by foods. I eat out of those med cups and I never finish. I used to at 2 weeks with potatoes though. Any suggestions.
