Stomach stretched a little at 8 mpnths



Recommended Posts

I have noticed the last 2 weeks I can eat more food without getting uncomfortable. does the sleeve stretch out down the road? I'm 8 months post op. I feel restriction but at about 1.5 oz more than the usual.??? Any advice or thoughts from people who are farther along than me would be appreciated. I'm freaking out a little (I dont wanna get fat again ever!). thanks

I had read on another post that after 6 months the stomach tends to "relax" a bit and it can hold more. I'm at 8 months and know that I can eat about a cup of food and feel full, previously I was full at 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup. But the difference now, from pre-surgery, is that I can eat a cup of food and walk away - not like the past where I'd be thinking about how soon I could eat again. It just takes a little more vigilance to keep myself on track.

I'm 9 months out and sometimes I can eat a whole sandwich. Other times I can barely eat the filling in a sandwich and a few bites of the bread. It depends on the day, who knows. Maybe this is the way normal people eat. I see thin people throw away a lot of there food sometimes and not so much at other times. Maybe I am becoming more normal LOL.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
