I was always able to drink more than they said I'd be able to. They didn't seem to care. Not sure why your person did, but whatever. And no, it wouldn't have stretched your stomach. Fluids go right through you.

This whole "stretching your stomach" turns out to be a myth, anyway. There's no evidence that it's possible or that the size of the stomach is correlated with weight regain or the amount you can or do eat. I've heard a number of podcasts where they interview researchers and surgeons.

Don't worry too much about stretching your stomach. It's hard to do, it would take a LOT of eating and effort to do it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
