Yeah, I figured the same.  Hence my reply about portion control...

I don;t think that being able to drink faster than others early after surgery indicates that anything was wrong from then very beginning.  Many people can drink very normally soon after surgery.  There are some, though, that experience discomfort and THAT limits how much they drink, not the size of their pouch or stoma. Liquids go straight through the pouch and stoma into the intestine (a larger stoma will just allow it to pass slightly faster), so it is completely normal to be able to drink a lot.

I think you were smart to return to a gastric bypass surgeon.  I hope he is able to fix the stoma without any complications.

Thanks! I'll keep you guys posted!

It will always be easier for ppl to tare you down and lay judgement upon you. Could you have done things differently probably however here you are and what you can focus on is positive space. Wether you have the surgery or not you will be fine. Success truly lies within you, your support system, and your higher power. You can do this and you will. The fact your still seeking advice and looking for guidance is important. Good luck to you friend.
My surgeon recently told me eat evey few
Hours and no more then 4 bites. Easier said then done but it could be worth a
Try for you?

Thanks a bunch Carissa, I appreciate your feedback & totally agree w/you a support system is important and I don't have much of that besides my hubby because most ppl I am around don't know or understand anything about WLS but I've been blessed to meet a few ppl here that I can still reach out too. The thing is I don't eat much to begin with... my initial weight gain last year was due to some emotional eating & lots of wine from depression when my 2 foster kids that we had for a few years had to leave, they were our 1st placement and that was difficult for myself and my husband, I have since found a therapist and worked through my emotions about that and got back on track and that's how I lost some of the regain.

 

Thanks!
