I can drink much more Water now than I could after surgery. I'm 14 days post op and I can "chug" water. Now, when I say chug, I don't mean drink a whole bottle at once, but I can take multiple gulps at a time where before it was only small sips. Will that stretch my pouch? It doesn't cause any discomfort.

That's great! Should make meeting your water requirements much easier. No, you cannot stretch your sleeve by drinking too much water or too quickly. It passes through your pyloric valve as quickly as you can swallow it. So drink up!

One, water goes through your SLEEVE very fast and won't stretch it. Two, your sleeve cannot be stretched by water or food or anything

Time after time of over eating, you could stretch your sleeve - at least that's what I was told.

Were you told by your surgeon? If the sleeve is done correctly the part of your stomach (i forgot the name of it) that stretches is removed

Many people think they have had stretching because there comes a point when all of the internal swelling has gone down and you can eat a little more
