Question:
Another version of the water question

I know water is crucial to this whole thing, both for weightloss and general health but my question is....is it possible to stetch the pouch with too much water at one time? And if you stertch the pouch with anything, can it shrink back or are you stuck with it forever?    — S S. (posted on July 8, 2000)

Yes, you can stretch the pouch with anything, be it a "good thing" or a bad thing. How permanent is a "stretch"? If you do it several times a day, it's pretty permanent. If you drink too much once on a hot day, you may hurt for a moment (go lie on your left side---NOW!), but it shouldn't do any permanent damage. If you drink too much once a week, because you forget, you may stretch it a tiny bit over time. You can somewhat reset it, seems like, if you go back to your 1 oz portions several hours apart for a few days. If we get to grazing, that can do far more damage. Eat several small meals, but get empty in between, don't graze. Same thing with drinking. If you feel the stretch, stop, wait and don't do it again. Just slow down.
