I saw my doctor today in a group meeting that the office holds, and he said something very interesting about stretching your pouch that I thought I would share.
He said it is not that your pouch stretches it is that you eat things that are easy on your pouch. The example was watermellon - it is easy to swallow and easy on your pouch - where as brisket is heavy on your pouch and you can only eat a few bites. He so said basically we as humans naturally gravitate to things we can eat easily and we end up eating more than we are now used to.
