Hello. What causes the pouch to stretch: well from first hand experience I'd say drinking while you're eating, overeating of course....and drinking pop. Eating solids too soon will cause this, if you don't allow your stomach time to heal properly it will stretch to where it THINKS you want it to be. I'm unsure how to tell if it's stretched out, other than maybe if you're able to eat larger quantities? Best regards~

Barb Thompsons book has info on the cottage cheese test to check pouch size. Its amazing how many questions that book answers.
