As I said in a previous post, I overate alot b4 surgery. Can this stretch the the small stomach pouch? Just curious?!?

I wrote that post kindof quick, let me elaborate.....

I am newly banded and I dont have fill. I have noticed I am hungrier and hungrier and can eat larger quanties of food.

My doc and I talked about no carbonation and the possibility of throwing up if I ate too much but I havent thrown up. Is it ok if eat 2 cups of food? I know I am suppose to only eat 1 cup at a time. Will I do long term damage? Will I stretch my new stomach? Or if I ate too much wouldnt I just PB?

I dont know if this is something that is just common sense. Did my doc just forget to tell me this or is it understood?

After the swelling of surgery goes down and before you've had any fills, the food basically goes right through. I don't think you're in danger of stretching your pouch with 2 cups of food. Once you have proper restriction, you won't be able to eat that much without throwing up.

I have worried about the same thing. I get my first fill on the 22nd and so far I have felt no effects of the band. It is so hard when there is no restriction. I try to eat small amounts but I never feel full!

I am so glad someone else has asked this question. For some reason I am not sure of the amounts of food I should be eating. I was banded on July 1 and have started mushies yesterday. I do not want to mess up what has been done. I will get my first fill on 8/3. Please help!!!!
