Listen to your pouch



Recommended Posts

Hi. Having surgery this morning. I’ve read a lot about listening to your pouch. I’m concerned because so far in my life, I’ve done a really bad job of listening to my stomach. How do you listen to your pouch? Will I understand after surgery?

It will guide your life all right. Keep plenty of fluids going in, they will,be your best friend in early days. As you,later,through the different levels, of purees and on, you will find you fill up quicker. If go slow, don't overfill,yourself, 2 oz. at a time and you f8nd out what I mean, but good luck with your surgery and may you do well! And we all,have been there and we' ll be here if you need a friend.

Your stomach talks to you a lot better post-op than it did pre-op. It lets you know when you're full and when you're really hungry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
