Terrified

I'm so afraid of expanding my stomach.. But is it normal that expands a bit? I mean it's only normal right ? My food tolerance in 7 months has gone up. I don't over do it at all. I've lost 130 in 7 months and hope to keep going.

Anyone have any info they could share or of anyone had the same fears ..? How wouldi know if something is going wrong ?

Don't be scared! It's completely normal at about the sixth month mark or so for the stomach to relax a bit.. It just part of the normal healing process (yes it's been healing this whole time)

Just keep doing what you're doing and eat until satisfied but not over stuff and you will do great :)

Ya I know. I've lost 130 pounds in 7 months. I feel great and I'm working hard. The hardest part is fixing my wardrobe I still always grab bigger sizes and can't get used to it

I'm only 4.5 weeks out and I'm already scared of this! Some days (or foods) I seem to be able to eat more and some days it seems like a lot less. I feel full quickly (maybe 3 oz or so) but I get hungry often, every two hours or so. Thanks for posting, maybe I can save myself some worry around the 6 month mark :P

I truly believe in mental hunger and real hunger. Ever since I've had this operation , I find my mind plays tricks on me. Now whenever I'm hungry and don't want to eat, I hVe water. Usually fills me up. Or I hit the gym. Haha

Don't be scared. Just think and plan and learn. And our brains are the REAL work... My fat brain in a pain in my butt...
