Possible to stretch pouch on liquids?

Is it possible to stretch your pouch on liquids? I am only 8 days post-op and the first few days I could drink 2 oz and feel full, now I can drink without any restrictions. I am a little nrevous and I don’t want to start things off on the wrong foot. Any advice would be welcomed.

No, you haven't stretched your pouch. Post-op swelling is just going away. That offered some restriction but as that goes away and you progress through mushy foods to "real food", you'll be in bandster hell....no restriction, able to eat pretty much anything and everything, and hungry. It's very trying but you'll be fine.

yea your fine.......trust me bandster hell is not fun. i am almost out of it after my last fill.

I never heard of this bansters hell, can you explain more to me. I was banded April 17 and been doing good, feeling wonderful, no post op wows at all but it seem as of Saturday (and that's also the day I woke with no signs of having surger, just felt good), but as of Sat. I seem to can drink...ALOT, and hungry all the dame time.
