I am 10 days post op. Am I the only one who can have 8 oz of cream of wheat at one sitting? I am so worried that I may stretch my pouch. Please help.

I was able to get all 8 oz's down in about 1 hour and then I was in miserable discomfort for 2 days. I would say you are just lucky and that you don't have as much swelling right now. I think you would feel a lot of pain and discomfort if you were stretching out your pouch. I'm no expert but I don't' think you should be too concerned.

If anything just try to avoid eating all of it in one sitting. Set up your own limits and that way you won't be scared you are overdoing it. Hang in there and congrats on eating it and not feeling sick!! You don't know it but that makes you lucky and awesome!

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Be sure to stick with suggested serving size on your plan.

Everyone is different. Like 3 days after surgery, I could eat like 6p ounces of "snow ice" in one sitting in like an hour... But for some reason, couldn't drink water straight like that. Trust me.. Your pouch is working because if not you could eat a whole plate of food... And I KNOW you can't do that!

Hmm, I'd ask your doctor. That does seem like a lot.

Tonight I tried to get 4 oz for dinner instead of 2 and I made it to about 3 and now have food coming up my throat if I try to lay down.

I get horrible heart palpitations if i eat over a couple ounces. They kick in and have to lie down until they pass. Its def a process of learning
