Volume question... 4 days post op

Okay I'm home from RNY surgery that was done on the 28th. Today I'm comfortable: just Mild pain and discomfort. (First 2 days were just miserable tho)

I had hubby make me vegetable broth and I couldn't get enough! I drank almost 60 oz of Water prior to it. I'm tolerating it fine. I'm just on clear liquid phase 1 diet till my post opp appointment next Wednesday. No shakes or pureed.

So I can tolerate a half cup of broth at meals, and my water sips aren't as small as I thought they had to be. So my question is... is my pouch too big? Is this even going to work? I'll ask the doc when I see him. He never said anything to me after surgery about it one way or another.

I'm just worried is all.

I'm sure your pouch is fine. Clear liquids don't stay in your pouch, they just keep moving. Warm fluids are easier on the incisions than chilled so if they go down easy then just keep at it.
