Stretched pouch....?

[Pam Peltz 56]

I am almost 3 months post op. seems in the last week or so I've been eating larger quantities of food. Like close to 1-1 1/2 cups. I want my pouch small. How do I know if I've permanently stretched it out? Can it be shrunk back? Thanks.

I'm worried also that i may of stretched mine out too...Seems i can eat more than everyone else. I'm scared the RNY surgery will not work for me. Also, i've never dumped or throwed up. Shouldn't i at least throw up if I eat too much???...Confused :/

I'm 11 months post up and I throw up if I over eat which hardly happens but when your used to being fat you sometimes forget and have an extra bite & out it goes. I'm able to eat more food then when I 1st got WLS but I also tend to stop my self if I feel I can over eat. I limite the amount of food & say I'm only eating this amount & snack in about 2 hrs later.

My doc assured me there is nothing that can stretch out your pouch. He said over time we find foods that we are able to eat in larger quantities. For example chicken is always heavy for me, but shrimp feels lighter. I tend to feel like I eat more when I eat shrimp. Make sense? Hope that helps!

Yes! Music! That does. I also find I can eat more of some foods. Mamio I don't have much of that problem that's what concerns me! I don't want to go back to eating huge portions. Appreciate the help. Love to hear if anyone else has experience in this?

I would think then that you are not eating that much food. I ALWAYS feel when I eat too much. It feels like thanksgiving dinner fullness. I don't throw up if I eat too much, it just hurts. I don't dump on carbs or sugar either.
