Is it possible to stretch your stomach again



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on the 16th, I misread my meal plans and starting eating soft food a week before than I was asked too. Today I had a couple of cheetos..I know it was a stupid idea to have done so....now I feel like I've stretched my stomach out. Is that possible?

Cheetos?

nope, you're not going to stretch it with a couple of cheetos (though those are something you really shouldn't be having now, whatever phase you are in, but we all know that, lol.) A lot of us are on a soft diet from the outset, so it shouldn't be a problem, but do try to follow your surgeon's program, as there may be other reasons for their progression rates.

I went to soft food a few days out of surgery- you should be fine. Just be careful it’s really soft and it’s mostly about letting your stomach heal at that stage and not popping staples or whatever they use inside your stomach.

Get all the yucky yummy food out of your house lol. This is hard enough without temptations around

      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.

      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!
