Pain 5 weeks out!?

[Melanie28 22]

So last night I started having pain in my "new" stomach. It almost feels like I did too many sit ups. I have my follow up appointment today but I'm nervous. Did anyone else deal with this pain? I tried pastina Pasta last night. (Very small pasta). I only had a little bit but maybe it stretched it? I'm a little nervous

One meal of anything isn't going to stretch your sleeve. It's possible the Pasta didn't agree with you. Five weeks out is very early to be trying pasta in the first place. Definitely best to talk to your surgeon.

I am guessing that it is more that your tummy didn't digest the Pasta easily. If you are following your quantity guidelines it seems very unlikely that you are feeling any stretch. In fact, of people who say they have a stretched sleeve, I don't believe they report "feeling stretched" at all.

It does seem kinda early for Pasta to me as well, but i was on a pretty conservative program.... pasta is fairly low in nutrients an with that tiny new tummy, not the best investment in the limited capacity. No guilt or shame, just something to consider as you move forward and make food choices.
