Stomach Stretching

[Fettchick83 70]

Is stomach strecthing real? I have read a lot about it, but has anyone experienced it? Can it happen within weeks of being post-op? Does it stop weight loss?

What makes you think this? There's differing opinions but no matter what - there's no reason to worry if you stick with your plan. Who really wants to take a chance that it does actually stretch?

I see you're about a week out from surgery. During this time liquid goes down easy and your really don't feel the restriction till you are on more solid food. Don't stress over it now.

When you're off liquids It's important not to eat till you feel full but till you're satisfied. Measure and weigh everything you eat and stick to your plan.

This is all new and you will learn the read the signs your body gives you. Everyone is different

I have read some blogs where people are 7 weeks out and they can eat as much food as they use to.

1. don't believe everything you read on the internet

2. I have never even tried to eat what I ate before. I keep my portions small and I am satisfied. so, if you don't try you won't need to worry over it.

I had surgery 4 months ago. I went to the seminar about a year and a half ago and had to wait on a medical issue before I could have surgery.

It's important to measure your food and eat only the amount recommended. You should be satisfied and won't overeat.

When do you begin to feel stable or yourself again?
