I am drinking 90-110 oz of water a day. I am PO RNY on 8/5/21. Is this too much? Is there any truth that you can stretch out your pouch with drinking too much. My doctor's nurse told me it is too much and I should only be drinking 45oz per day or I will stretch out my pouch. I don't know if that is too low. I know we are supposed to listen to our doctors but I feel that is way too low. I have always been a big water drinker and it seems like if I drink more, I lose more. Thoughts???
 
I just googled it and several surgical centers said that you cannot stretch your stomach/pouch by drinking liquids. But it's google, so .. take it with a grain of salt. I drink probably close to a gallon most days and have no issues.
