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

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
