Worried my pouch can hod too much

Hi all,

So I'm 11 days post op and on the pureed diet. I'm a bit worried that my pouch is able to hold so much this early on. It can eat between 200 and 250ml (1 cup) of homemade soup during a 30 minute meal with out feel full or uncomfortable. Surly this isn't right. I'd be really interest to know what other people can eat.

Hi Ginny, I had my op a few days before you. I realise my pouch could hold much more than I am eating at the moment too.... I havnt pushed myself to eating a cup... I cut myself off at 3-4 dessert spoons. But I find I could hold more if I pushed it and continue eating.....I still don't fell restriction, don't know if its because im not allowing myself more than 3-4 spoons at any one time... Im so scared of stretching my pouch... I think the first time I feel proper restriction that would make me happy...I hope that is soon.....

Thank you for your reply. I think I am surprised at how powerful the head hunger is and the desire to clear the plate.
