Hello,

I think im driving my Husband insane, im constantly worried that im eating to much or im going to "stretch" my stomach. I eat any where from 1/3 cup food to 1/2 cup depending what im eating. Im a snacker so I find myself wanting to "not needing too" chew on something.

For some reason I cant get a hold of my nutritionist to get any ideas or suggestions. So any insight would be fantastic. I had my Surgery December 18th and today im down 75 pounds and have no Idea if thats where im suppose to be or if i should be losing more.

I just stress because I dont want to mess anything up. Obviously I did this for a reason. People are getting aggravated with me because I freak out.

again any insight or suggestions would be fantastic.

Thanks

When I feel the need to snack or crunch something.... I eat crunchy veggies... Carrots, jicama or cucumbers.... That seemed to do the trick!hope this helps...

Try to relax. There's not a lot you can do to stretch your stomach. The part that stretches has mostly been removed. At this point, your weightloss looks fine, probably better than average. Eating about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of food is pretty much on track. Make sure you are getting your Protein in and your Water but otherwise it sounds like your are right on track.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
