Does your new stomach feel normal?



Recommended Posts

How long does it take for your new stomach to feel normal, not so fragile and touchy, like it's always there getting your attention, does that make sense..

It took about 2 months for me. I'm 3 months out now and everything feels 100% normal, just smaller.

Ok I'm two months today, I'm honestly getting really scared that I won't ever feel normal again.

It's feels like a little weenie sissie sensitive arrogant pouch it is. Always starving. Always wanting more and more. Well, anything but Water. Stomach is a self righteous bitty I have to cater to

I haven't felt any differently with my stomach. Up until I first felt restriction, I questioned if the surgeon even did anything. My stomach area feels the same, so I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe you are hyper aware of your new tummy because of knowing what the surgeon did? Which isn't at all unusual. I've had surgeries for athletic injuries and it takes awhile to get used to the fixed area again.

I'm 6 months out and unless I'm currently eating or have recently eaten, I am not conscious of my stomach. It feels normal in that I don't feel it at all. Is that what you mean?

Yes that's what I mean like before I wasnt conscious of my stomach unless I was hungry or it was upset but now it's like I always feel it, there's always some kind of sensation that keeps my attention. I hope that makes sense. But I really hope to feel normal like you all do now.

My gurgling has gone away for the most part, just feels queezy or something all the time, my one fear was that I'd be nauseous all the time after surgery, I do have to say I feel much better today, mind and body, ahh the power of prayer.

Same here.

I thought I would feel something magical but everything felt the same.

My full signal is a hiccup.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
