wendypenn 13 Posted December 9, 2016 Can you stretch your pouch by drinking to much Water? I'm just curious as I feel I can drink so much being only 24 days out.

tinanne 27 Posted December 9, 2016 That's awesome your getting your fluids! That's been the hardest part for me, even now at 9 months out. I don't think you'll stretch your new stomach as long as you are drinking slowly. Good luck and best wishes. Your doing amazing!

LittleBill 2,231 Posted December 9, 2016 No, but you can stack it up a bit and feel uncomfortable for a few minutes. Don't ask me how I know this. Imagine a sink where the Water goes in just a little faster than it drains out. If you drink water, or anything else, fast enough, you are going to fill up your new tiny stomach, and then start in on the pipe (otherwise known as your esophagus). Your stomach will be emptying fairly fast, but not so fast as you can put it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
