that something is wrong. Nothing bothers me. I can drink too much at a time (not that I'm trying).  Tonight I made malt o meal and it went down too easy. I'm scared my pouch isn't small enough and I'm going to need a revision. Anyone else have too easy a time??

I feel i can eat whatever i want because nothing makes me sick. I choose to stay away from bad food.

While you are healing, you won't feel restriction.  You definitely won't feel restriction on liquids.  Until you are healed, you should treat your stomach as a lying liar that lies.  Do not trust it.  Do not rely on it.  Do not expect to be able to listen to it to tell you what to do.  

Weigh and measure everything.  Follow your plan.  Everything will be okay.

"Until you are healed, you should treat your stomach as a lying liar that lies".  

I just love that quote!

I was having the same concerns. Was eating the upsode of what the NUT said I should eat at meals with no problems. Yesterday however, I started eating less per meal because either I was eating too fast or taking too big of bites and my tummy nerves are coming alive again, because I was feeling uncomfortable near the top of my tummy and in my back.

Today I ate half cup per meal and feel much better.

I was the same way after surgery, I thought maybe they didn't operate on me.  During the full liquid stage I was able to down a full can of tomato soup made with a full can of milk.  Just wait until your on on solid food believe me your world will change.

I'm just under five weeks out and I had the same concerns in the beginning.

I could drink a cup of broth easily. I could drink a protein shake with no problem. I could drink 24 oz of Crystal Lite. I was worried maybe something was wrong...maybe I stretched it somehow. Maybe they didn't make it small enough.

It will change when you get to puree'd food. Sometimes I couldn't finish 4 oz of food. Friday night was my first night eating solid food. I had 2 oz of salmon and 2 oz of mixed veggies... I couldn't finish all the vegetables.
