Too much too soon
I had my gastric bypass on mon 28 th, been rough, I hadn't been getting in much if any protein drink. Today I sipped one till it was gone too fast! I feel really full and I'm freaking out! I know this probably sounds silly but after all this I blew it! Did I just stretch out my new stomach? This drink should have taken hour to drink!
You can't stretch out your pouch by drinking. Your pouch is kinda like a funnel. There's a little opening at the bottom. It doesn't take me an hour to drink a protein drink. I did feel uncomfortable early out if I drank too fast but you can't do any damage doing so. Just drink a little slower next time.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
It's going to take you a while to make the change in your mind from your old life to your new one. Please don't freak out too much. If you make a mistake, your new Overlord Pouch will quickly remind you to watch out!!
The old mantra of "sipsipsip, chewchewchew, walkwalkwalk" is still very true. "Nap as needed" is still true, too!
Take your time, get use to doing things differently. Believe me, you're no different than anyone else who's just had surgery.
