stretched pouch



Recommended Posts

How do you know if your pouch has been stretched out, I have falling back into my old habits of drinking soft drinks, eating to fast, and eating the wrong kinds of food, I did really well in the beginning after my surgery but this month I have done horrible, I am afraid that I have messed up my band, haven't had any vomiting, just discomfort with burping all the time, has anybody else gone thru this?

I am going thru the same thing. I was banded 8/23/11 and have had 2 fills. I am unable to drink anything fuzzy. Im surprised the soft drinks arent bothering you. Everytime I have been to the office for a fill they ask me about burping... I will have to ask what is going on when I go the 25th

My doc told me it takes alot to stretch the pouch back out . He said I would have to basically go back to the way I was eating before I got the band .

I dont have no fills in me but there is no way I could eat like I did before,I would get sick before I could eat that much.

One of the people in my support group didnt follow the rules for a good two yrs or so and I mean she would eat anything and everything and not very small portions either and she never stretched hers out .

Doc said it takes alot of food over time to even stretch it .

This is going to sound funny, but there was a test developed

by a Dr. Flanagan? called the "Cottage cheese test" that

used cottage cheese and Water to check the capacity

of a Lap bander's pouch. You'll have to look it up on Google.

it would give you an idea of whether your pouch had stretched.

I don't think it's likely, but you never know.

If you really want to get back on track, look up the 5 day pouch

test. A lot of people who strayed, used it to restart their weight loss.

I hope you get back where you want to be.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
