I was noticing the NSV of seeing my stomach go down for the past four weeks. However, as of Saturday, my stomach has dramatically inflated. What could be happening?

Have you recently moved to another phase of your post-op diet? Are you eating gassy foods? Are you constipated or getting your period? Those things could create a lot of bloat and distension. If nothing has changed, and it continues for several days, I suggest that you run it by your doctor.

I have been eating solids for two weeks. I am on week six postop. I am not constipated, and I do not get periods (an operation took care of that at the early age of 32). I think that what happened was that I had pizza and Pasta this weekend and the Pasta was spicy.

Sounds like you figured it out, but if things don't balance out in the next day or two, give your doc a call.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
