Can you shrink your pouch?

Hey y'all - This may sound like an idiotic question, but I'm at the end of my rope. Does anyone know if there is a way to shrink your pouch back to (almost) post-op size? I've searched the web, but nothing about shrinking - only about stretching. I feel like I can eat...and eat...and eat. My willpower is at an all time low and I am constantly making terrible food choices. The exercise thing is a vicious cycle - too tired to get up and work out, but that's because I'm not exercising, because I'm too tire to get up....you get the picture! I have no $$$ to join a gym. The weather here has been terrible - cold and drizzly one day, muggy and drizzly the next. I have a very expensive treadmill upstairs, but no motivation to get my big butt on it. I just had a piece of my daughter's b-day cake for dinner. What am I doing to myself?!?! I try to cut myself a little slack because of all the emotional stress I'm under with the divorce and the unemployment situation, but I feel out of control (again). So - is there any way I can get back on track? Is there any way I can shrink my pouch? I've gained weight recently and I'm scared to death to get back up there too much more. Help.......? As always - - thanks for being here!! Hugs, -Wendy

Sweetie, you can turn all of this around, you know that. Having said that, do what you need to do, in your time, in your way. As for your pouch, give your surgeon a call. I believe there is something called a revision where they can go in and modify the size of your pouch. Call your surgeon to discuss your options. Most importantly, don't keep all of this to yourself, inside your head. Get it out in the open so that you can deal with it. Best of luck, Wendy. Maureen

Wendy, I don't remember who, but I seem to recall someone on this board going to liquids like protein shakes and yogurt for a few days and then feeling like their pouch had shrunk. I know that if I cut back on portion size for a few days, it seems like I get full sooner and eat less for awhile. It might just be my imagination, but it's worth a try. Big Hugs, Connie

Wendy, I LOVE your new hair style -- can you tell me what to tell my stylist to get the exact same look? (Hope you don't mind!) M.
