Paranoid

[Serra Cherub 12]

I am just over 2 weeks out and am already paranoid about stretching my pouch. Not because I have eaten/drank more than allotted but just being hyper paranoid about the potential. I am sticking to my 1/4 cup food when I eat and liquid intake, but I can't shake the fear.

I can understand the feeling. A lot of people experience it.

I went through that, too I didn't realize that some things just go down easier than others so I immediately jumped on the board and freaked out about it. It's perfectly normal to do so. I'm two and a half months out and I can tell you, my sleeve is still firm and letting me know when I've reached 3 ounces.

Me too. I'm 4 days post surgery and I feel so full with the fluids, I feel like I must be stretching it. Can't wait till I start losing to prove it's working!

Havent had surgery yet, but that was a concern of mine too.. The surgeon said not to stress it... Even if it stretches some, it wont ever be where it was before. And the majority that do stretch, its minimal anyway.
