Stretched pouch? And bad habits returning...

[katie78 0]

I'm 3 months post op, had one fill, 2cc's, and due to get my second fill Thursday. After the 1st fill I never felt "great" restriction but I could tell a diff. Well I feel/know I"m eating too much, thats why I called for a second fill. I can eat a six inch subway turkey sand. If you had good rest. you wouldn't be able to eat this right????? I AM still losing though, but I'm worried that am I stretching my pouch by eating this much? (I don't eat this much all the time, just sometimes) I plan on asking my surgeon Thursday.

The bad habits are pop! I didn't drink pop for 2 months, and ever since I took a sip, I love it once again. Again, it's not everyday, but I can def. tell that i can't eat as much when I'm drinking pop, and I know the food is the most important. Do anyone indulge in a pop once in a while? I really wanna cut it out again alltogether b/c pop is shit for your inards, I know this.

Any help would be great!

You already know what you are doing wrong so do what you know is right. Not only is soda bad for you but you are risk for stretching out your pouch. Not only are you setting yourself up for failure but you can also risk complicatons.

Look at how well you've already done. You can do this and deserve it too! Get the soda out of the house and order smaller portions when eating.

Hi, I am really struggling right now too. And actually I just ate a 6in sub the other day too. I was banded May 28th and have had 2 fills so far. I have felt so aweful the past few weeks because I have been eating so much! Waaay more than I should be eating. I've lost 35 lbs and have maintained that since my last fill but I havent lost anything in 3 weeks. I workout 4 times a week for at least an hour. I know this is considered bandster hell but I feel like such a failure because I;m eating so much. And I'm fully aware that I'm eating so much. I still havent had any pop since surgury but my proportions are slowly getting larger and larger. I'm scheduled for my third fill on the 11th and I'm really looking forward to that. I hope it helps. Maybe we can be like each others cheerleaders :wink2: I hope we keep in touch, I could use the support. I hope you keep losing the weight, my thoughts are with you!
