bridgieb925 6 Posted May 10, 2017 Hello All, I had RNY gastric bypass on 04/24/2015. So I am about 2 or 3 weeks post op. Tonight I think I took to large of a bite or didn't chew it well enough, and I felt like it was stuck in my chest. I was able to get the food to go down with some Fluid. I am concerned that too large of a bite and the fluids can stretch my pouch/stoma. Even though this has only happened once is it a possibility to stretch them? Any help would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kearner 26 Posted May 10, 2017 Hi! I have done the same thing - a couple of times I have heard many people say you can not really stretch your pouch.....I keep meaning to ask my surgeon ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orionburn 1,024 Posted May 10, 2017 There's way too much tendency for people to claim you're going to stretch your sleeve/pouch from having a single soda or too large of meal one time. That's now how it works. If you're cramming down as much as you can day after day after day and making yourself feel miserable then sure, you're probably going to stretch things out to an extent, but there's no way in hell you're going to double it in size over night. Eating too fast or taking too large of a bite can make you seriously ill/miserable as you've just experienced. Chalk it up to lesson learned and move on. 2 MarinaGirl and Sadiebug reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neon07734 36 Posted May 10, 2017 I agree. Having been through the surgery (4/24) its easy to get worked up over every detail. You don't want this to fail!!!!! It takes too much out of us to get here! And so many conflicting reports. We are all so different. 3 jaimevondawson, Unkle Jaye and bridgieb925 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bridgieb925 6 Posted May 10, 2017 I just realized I posted I had surgery 04/24/2015. When actually it was this year. 3 hours ago, neon07734 said: I agree.

We are all so different. Have you lost much weight since 4/24. I think it's awesome we had surgery on the same day. 2 neon07734 and Unkle Jaye reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
croutster 20 Posted May 11, 2017 I had surgery on 4/24 as well! How are you doing with getting Proteins in? 1 neon07734 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neon07734 36 Posted May 11, 2017 Because of the PE I developed I haven't been able to hit my Protein goals. Starting tomorrow I'm going to force them in the best I can. It's difficult to hit your liquid and protein goals after surgery. You just have zero hunger and force feeding yourself is tough. I've lost 15 pounds 2 weeks 2 days out of surgery. 1 bridgieb925 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bridgieb925 6 Posted May 11, 2017 Hi have no issue getting liquids or Proteins in. I am supposed to be adding eggs ricotta cheese, and cottage cheese but no only do I not like them, but my stomach does not tolerate them. I was drinking Premier Protein, but jyst found this juice/water drink called protein20 that have 15 g of Protein and they are delicious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
