i am assuming that it would take overeating on a regular basis to stretch the pouch..is that right?

a little background...

i am 1 month 1 week out from surgery.

we are currently in the process of selling our house and buying another. i am a comfort eater. so i have been incredibly stressed and recognized last night i was eating more then i should. i think i probably have been a few other times. now i am freakin out that i may have stretched my pouch or ruined something.

please help! suggestions? advice?

oh, i have in this bad time also taken a few sips of something while eating. i know, i know, i know....

and one more thing...i find myself drinkin more then just sips. i will drink several swallows at once. i try not to, but sometimes i just dont think about it until i am done and then its "oh crap". it never hurts or anything, so i am tellin myself i am ok. yes??? no????

thanks everyone!

I am sure that it will take more than a few times to stretch your pouch. Not drinking while I eat is the hardest thing for me. I actually will have pain if I really over eat. If you felt that you over ate then the next day try not to do it again. Everybody cheats and if they tell you that they don't then they are a liar too. If your are doing this then you need to correct it now. You cannot go back to stress eating that is what got me into my weight problem. It took me awhile to understand that I pick up the food and I put it into my mouth so I am responsible for my own weight. You have to find a different outlet for stress instead of food. Actually alot of this is find out what makes you over eat and correct it. I also have learned that I need to eat to live and not live to eat. Good luck to you and you WILL succeed.
