Is there any harm in drinking too much water in a small period of time? Can I stretch my pouch?? I feel fine but can seriously drink 8-12oz in an hour!

I am wondering the same thing. I have the same question. I can drink 16 oz of Water in 15 minutes. Is this going to stretch my pouch?

8-12 oz IMO isn't a lot. I drink a lot more than that in an hour. A liquid will go right into your lower stomach, so no you can't stretch your pouch with a liquid

Nope. Liquids go right through.

Wouldn't think so! and to get 64 ounces + a day, you need to drink about 8oz an hour

Not according to my surgeon. While you might get to the point in your fills where a big gulp of Water might go down and rebound (had this happen a time or two), even that is not enough to stretch the pouch. I was told that if I was in the process of stretching my pouch, I'd have plenty of warning sides ahead of time including acid reflux with food backing up into my esophagus...and that it would take many many many months of consistent abuse to actually stretch the pouch.
