I was told that the stretchy part of the stomach was removed. What we have left is made of muscle which is much tougher and harder to stretch. It may be that the inflammation in your tummy is subsiding. Just follow the protocol and you will be successful.

it's also possible because you are still in the liquid phase. Liquids will go through you faster. That feeling should subside once you transition to purees or soft foods.

@@Joy889 Liquids shouldn't stretch out your stomach, they go right through.

I wonder if you are bloated...I know if I drink a milk or milk-based beverage, I bloat. Feels terrible, so I tend to stay away from it. It does subside, but takes some time. Good luck!

@@BLERDgirl because I feel so for every time that I drink I feel that I'm about to stretch out my stomach or something like I feel that I have too many ounces of Water that i drink in one sitting even though I try my best to monitor that. Even though my stomach feels at its compacity about 30 minutes or so later I still drink more water because I'm trying to get in all of my ounces by the end of the day

Relax. It's Water. It's gonna run through you. It doesn't sit in your stomach because it doesn't need to be broken down and digested.

Yes but its not just water...it's Protein Shakes and Soups as well... But I guess I'm over thinking even though I've already had the surgery I still just get scared sometimes like something will go wrong...this is still so new to me...

No idea. Have you talked to your doctor? It may be the food is not soft enough. Are you doing purees or soft foods?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
