First off lets no how far out you are and I have been wondering the same thing since day 1. I asked my doctor about that and he told me that in the begining you will not stretch it with just water you are still wide open (my doc dont fill any during surgery) he said that it is possible after you get restriction if you drink to much to soon after you eat but that is my doc I am sure that you will get alot of responses on this hope it helps for now.

I had asked my doctor that very question when I was 10 days post op. He had cleared me to return to exercising (except for working on my abs) and I told him that when I am doing aerobics I can gulp down a lot of water in a very short time, usually finishing 32 ounces within the hour long class. He told me that for now that was fine but in the future I should hydrate before beginning to exercise. When I see him again next week (hopefully for my first fill) I am going to let him know that I am not thirsty BEFORE I exercise but am extremely thirsty while I am exercising. Since water is supposed to go right through the pouch, I don't see how it can be stretched. I don't know what I'll do if I can't drink a lot of water when I am at aerobics class.
