Worried

So, I am three weeks out, and have been on mushies for about 3 days. Today, for the first time, I was really, really hungry and I think I over did it. It just felt so good to have real food.

Now I'm worried about the damage I may have done. I don't feel any pain, just fullness. But, I ate WAAAY more than reccomended. I don't have PB's or anything...

I feel really ashamed and disgusted at myself.
How do i know if I stretched my pouch? Would it be painful?

YOu will be fine you just might feel yucky.  I asked my doc the same thing and it takes alot and I mean alot of you overeating day in day out for you to stretch your stomach out .  That was one of the first things I asked when I did the same thing .

You probably don't have any fill in your band and you will find out that you can eat pretty much as much as you did before the band,  Don't be discouraged.  Try to watch yourself,  limit your quantities and know that when you do start getting fills, it will restrict the amount you can eat. 

It's bandster hell. 

Thank you! I was so worried. I did eventually feel the pains of eating too much, but later on. I don't have any thing in it yet, but I thought that it restricts some just being in there. I guess I assumed it would be more than it is.

I appreciate you calming my nerves. :D

I had the same worries...i dont really feel any restriction even after one fill...then when I started real food my weight loss plummeted and isnt moving a bit frustrating but I need to really work at staying within the limits and making good choices...my calorie level per day is way down but still head games (hey isnt that a song lol).

No, you wouldn't have dilated your pouch, not with virtually no restriction yet. But... if you had restriction that might have been a nasty vomiting episode.

And THAT is true for ALL surgery types.
