I'm 18 days out of surgery and no longer having the pain/cramp I was anytime I would eat or drink too fast. Is my stomach just healing or could it be stretched??? I've followed measurements for liquid and purée. Is it easy to stretch it out??

Nah, this sounds normal to me. The pain should lessen when you're drinking/eating. Meaning, you should be able to handle things better with time. I no longer have any pain or discomfort unless I eat/drink way too fast or eat too fast.

Thank you! I'm so paranoid I'm going to mess something up

If you are following your surgeons instructions for how much and how often to eat / drink you don't need to worry about stretching the pouch! I remember thinking the same thing at about 20 days out, and the reality is the inflammation in your pouch is reducing and you are healing making it easier to consume a bit more than in the first days post surgery!

Nah, this is a good thing - it means the swelling in your stomach is going down! Remember, your stomach has been cut and stapled down to 15% of it's original size so it's going to be swollen for a while post-op.

Mine changed twice like that.

I just made sure to measure everything I ate n drank. I still do too at 11 weeks.
