How do u know if your new pouch is stretched?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on April 30. For some reason I am not hungry. I have been trying to get at least the Water in. On yesterday I ate 2 chicken mc nuggets and I chewed and chewed and chewed because it was the closet thing I could get to Protein. I pray that I have not messed up because I really wNt this to work. Under the circumstances that was the only thing I could get in because of other issues I'm dealing with. Today I'm doing much better back at home and not so stressed. I was able to get a Protein Drink in and so far that is all. No criticisms please I already feel horrible.

Thinmints - first of all I love your name and boy I miss thin mints. Second, it's ok you ate mcnuggets and moving forward I would stick to the diet and have your Protein Shakes and liquid diet. Drink water and diet drinks and no carbonation. You did not stretch your pouch but to prevent it from having it in the long run follow what your doc says. I had my surgery on march 31 and left the hospital on April 3. So I started my liquid diet the minute I walked out of the hospital and stayed on it until April 13. liquids were hard to get it down but I made sure I did what the doc said and had my chewable vitamins. Also with hunger it's common not to feel hungry and I still feel that way. I am not hungry much and my taste buds have also changed. Anyways mistakes happen and now stick to what the doc says. Best of luck!

Thanks RNBSN786...I'm back on the right trail now. Though it's still hard for me to get 32 ounces in I'm going to put my best foot forward. Thanks for the encouragement and best of luck to u!

I'm worried about this I had the sleeve March 3rd and it seems like I've been able to eat more than I used too. I haven't been perfect, I've overeaten and cheated with some carbonated drinks. But it hasn't been everyday, not even once a week. I just feel like 2 months surgerversity isn't long enough to stretch my pouch.

Lol I feel like if you let it sit in your mouth for a bit and let it lose the carbonation it's not too bad

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
