Getting back on track...... soon

I had my endoscopy yesterday and if I remember correctly while under sedation I think I recall the doctor saying I had indeed stretched my pouch out.... in 3 1/2 months seems crazy to me but I will know the full results next wednesday when I see my regular doctor.... so after my procedure yesterday and I came to a little more I started to do more research and it looks like I have to go back onto the liquid diet I was on following surgery and prior to it as well.... ONE HUGE PROBLEM!!! I live in Canada were I cannot get the SUGAR FREE instant breakfasts that I drank then and I'm not going to the states for at least a few weeks and thats only if I can get enough money to so now I am spiralling down that rabbit hole even more...... why did I fall off track and how can I get back onto the right track without the proper tools???

These days it seems that absolutely everything can be found on line and delivered to your home!!  Can I ask what happened in 3 1/2 months that would stretch your pouch? I has surgery in 2005 and must say I haven't always been a model student.  I have had 2 CTs, 3 different laparoscopies, a swallow study and a hernia repair and have no stretching of my pouch.
I am now just 9 days post op and plan to get BOTT on Monday...and I will be more than happy to join you!

I get so many of the foods I like/want on line and it's handy not to have to spend so muh time grocery shopping.  I'm almost 4 1/2 years out from my lap band surgery and haven't stretched anything (of course with the lap band, having a fill to adjust the size of the opening is no problem) so I too am curious as to what has stretched yours (if it realy has stretched.)  Keep us posted.

Thanks ladies, I am curious too as to what the heck could have stretched it back out.... I'll definately find out more when I see my other doc on Wednesday.....
I'm happy to say that a friend of mine has agreed to do a roadtrip to the states so that I can pick up a bunch of the sugar free instant breakfast so that I can get back on the liquid diet track and hopefully "fix" whatever damage I've done..... and however much it actually is....
I'm really at a loss as to how eating mostly soups ( I made huge batches and froze them in 1 cup portions for meals) how I was able to go from that to basically almost the way I ate before.... and it's so easy to just say well stop but if I could just stop I never would have needed the surgery in the first place right???
I'll keep you all posted on what the doc says and Monday is the day I have circled on my calendar to GET BACK ON TRACK FOR GOOD!! Wish me luck

certainly looking foward to your answers!!!  good luck!!!  do you add protein powder to your instant  breakfast?

Well they said I had slight stretching whatever that means, but no answers on the extreme bloating, they think maybe gas??? but wouldn't gas be squeeshy and not hard??
I restarted the liquid diet yesterday, this is day two so hopefully I can use this as another tool to get nack on the right track and to help shrink my pouch..... wish me luck!! Together we can do this!!

Hello All!!!!
It's Monday morning and I am about to embark on the liquid diet once again... I traveled to the states for a mother/daughter roadtrip with my best friend and her daughter, got all my supplies, said goodbye to some old friends at Olive Garden, McDonalds and Cherry Coke and now I'm getting my shakes ready...and it could come soon enough..... I really wanted to avoid the scale to see just how bad it was but I really needed a starting point AGAIN and to make myself accountable..... so from 302.2 a little over a year ago DOWN to 138.8 December 24th before I started to sample, test and graze and now back UP to 159.0 TODAY APRIL 19th..... I definately need all the help I can get......and hopefully the doctor will have more answers on Wednesday for me as to what happened.....

Actually tomorrow is my start day, mondays are overrated :(
