2 weeks post op. Can too much water/fluids stretch your sleeve? I don't drink anything 30-45mins prior to having my puréed meals or after. And I just constantly try and sip shakes or Water throughout the day.

Really trying to take care of my new stomach.

I was scared about stretching my stomach from liquids also but you're fine and some of us still can only manage liquid intake better than any foods

Thanks guys. I feel I can eat more of my puréed foods and I was wondering if maybe I'd stretched my stomach already through all the liquids I'd been drinking but I guess as I heal I'll consume be able to consume more...

You will notice you can tolerate more food the further out you get. Right now your stomach is still healing and as the swelling goes down there will be more room for food. You will also notice some food goes down a lot easier than others and you can eat more of it. Follow your doctors Portion Control and you will be fine.

      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.

        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.

      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!
