How do you know if you have stretch your pouch?(no fill's yet)



Recommended Posts

I was baned on 12-21-10 so far i have lost 80 pounds. I have not had any fills yet and i would like to reach my goal weight without any. But lately I have worried that something is wrong i can drink Water as fast as i want with no trouble and I'm hungry all the time. So i'm worried that i have stretch out my pouch.

See your doctor. It may be time for that 1st fill! It's great that you have already lost 80 without a fill---way to go!!

I have always been able to drink as fast as i want. I have no fill in my band either.

I wondermif your band may be looser because you've lost some fat around your tummy?

No fill? My surgeon said he put some Fluid into mine at time of surgery as "I had done such a great job of doing the pre-surgery shakes" I laughed because I cannot say I didn't taste a morsel here or there, just a TASTE and only about four times in the two week period. And I didn't use all the shakes at that time. My thing was if I wasn't hungry why eat, wasn't that part of what we are learning here? I did lose over 10 lbs in that two week period and feel good now. Had surgery on Mon 8/8 and have lost about five lbs but could be just from the bloat post surgery which is fine. Down is down. I am concerned tho as I too can drink as before without issue. Water especially. Jello, well that can trigger that pressure mid-abdomen, but I can do a 8 oz shake thinned with no problems except I do get full. I cannot SIPI. Is that bad? I just cannot do it and was not able to do it after surgery either. No vomit for me..

I am having my first fill in three weeks I believe.

This is such a fun adventure...Just keep up with the ride!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
