Stomach seems even smaller now than when I was new pre op

November 29, 2000

Hi Trudy. Yes I do feel like my stomach holds a lot less now than when I

was freshly pre-op. I didn't feel real hunger but when I did eat something

I felt like I could eat a lot. I could eat a whole 8 oz of yogurt and a

whole can of soup etc. This kind of freaked me out because I was under the

impression I would only be able to hold a couple TBS at a time after

surgery. I could have eaten more and not felt uncomfortable, but didn't

because I was afraid to get leak etc. But the last couple of weeks I feel

like I can't hold very much. I can only hold about 1/2 cup at a time and

have to take my time getting that down.. And I feel really full!! I mean

it feels like if I take another bite it will come back up on me. And this

applies for liquids also. And I feel my tummys boundries more now, like

scar tissue has formed or something. Sound strange huh? But that is how I

feel.

How has your weight loss been? Your post sounds like me, so I'm intersted in

how it's going for you.

Thanks,
