When was your surgery? When it heals and the swelling goes away you Can hold more. I assure you it's not stretched.

You need to drink more Water and you will be able to eat more as time goes by 6 tbs is still very little.

If you still have nausea, and are vomiting and have diaherra, please see your team. Fix that first and you WILL be better. PS, your stomach has not stretched or grown back.

You sound pretty typical for a month out. 6 TBLE won't stretch your stomach. Over the next several months, you will gradually be able to eat more and more. It relaxes some and the swelling goes down. Just focus on the rules your surgeon gave you. It does get easier, and you'll figure out how your new stomach works and how weight loss will continue.

      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.
