Pouch stretching back?

Hi ,

Welcome to the group.

In a recent discussion with my surgeon regarding this very subject, while it is

true there is some small amount of stretching, (very small) what does happen is

the pouch and connections begin to work more efficiently. Assuming no

mechanical problems.

More important is by maintaining satiety, with excellent quality protein as in

shakes, (nod to Mom), the pouch can remain very small. Eating small quantities

every 2 or 3 hours seems to work for many. My goal is to keep the pouch small.

I find if I have a shake in between meals, or like Mom, shortly before a meal, I

just physically cannot eat very much, and at the same time, I know I am getting

enough quality nutrition. This works for me as I was a volume eater. Sometimes

like a wood chipper, now slow eating and I'm full fast.

course, if they're drinking milk shakes, living on McD's, etc., well that's a

whole 'nother story. "
