I was told that the stretchy part of the stomach was removed. What we have left is made of muscle which is much tougher and harder to stretch. It may be that the inflammation in your tummy is subsiding. Just follow the protocol and you will be successful.

I wonder if you are bloated...I know if I drink a milk or milk-based beverage, I bloat. Feels terrible, so I tend to stay away from it. It does subside, but takes some time. Good luck!

I know @@"Elode" but when I drink my liquids I feel like I'm drinking too much at a time even though I try my best not to and monitor my ounces per hr

Why does it feel like you are drinking too much?

@@BLERDgirl because I feel so for every time that I drink I feel that I'm about to stretch out my stomach or something like I feel that I have too many ounces of water that i drink in one sitting even though I try my best to monitor that. Even though my stomach feels at its compacity about 30 minutes or so later I still drink more water because I'm trying to get in all of my ounces by the end of the day

Relax. It's water. It's gonna run through you. It doesn't sit in your stomach because it doesn't need to be broken down and digested.

Yes but its not just water...it's protein shakes and soups as well... But I guess I'm over thinking even though I've already had the surgery I still just get scared sometimes like something will go wrong...this is still so new to me...

Those liquids aren't going to stretch your stomach

Hi its me im 6 weeks out fluids are fine but food is definitely a no no i can take 2/3 bites then it comes right back up with alot of pain. What's wrong

No idea. Have you talked to your doctor? It may be the food is not soft enough. Are you doing purees or soft foods?
