Midtown girl 44 Posted December 26, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted December 26, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted December 26, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joy889 11 Posted December 26, 2014 @@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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kikicoates78 220 Posted December 26, 2014 Drinking isn't going to hurt u unless it's bad drinking with too many calories or carbonation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted December 26, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joy889 11 Posted December 26, 2014 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...
