- A common misconception is that if you overeat after weight loss surgery, you can stretch your stomach back out. Dr. Jacome explains what this means and what can actually happen.

Thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
I have had a habit of overeating and I'm trying to control the amount of food intake. I don't know if it's because I'm used to the feeling of a stretched stomach after eating, I don't feel satisfied after having a controlled portion. I thought it was because I had stretched my stomach permanently and now I HAVE TO eat large portions or I won't feel full. How should I know I'm actually full and not over-stretched? Is it dependent on my habits?
Your stomach is a muscle and can be trained to eat more. When you do eat, we recommend eating protein first to fill up on that then vegetables then carbs. Hopefully this will help subside your urge to eat larger portions. Also, here is another video talking about stomach stretch: czcams.com/video/4WTvuxt5OQc/video.html
hello quick question i am going from a sleeve to a full bypass can a bypass stretch just as much as a sleeve ?
I know this is going to sound weird but I'm not sure if it was hormones but I did enjoy eating little bits of chocolate candy snack cakes and cakes well pass my surgery then allow a sudden the craving went away haven't had any for 9 years now I created a horrible habit of snacking but it watermelon including the seeds grapes apple slices/sauce scrambled eggs and cheese through breakfast lunch snack and dinner when it comes to eating a regular kids meal that I use to can eat now went back to how my pouch was at 1st I'm not sure why I'm craving the stuff listed but how can I eat a lot of that without being full but can't eat the kids meal baffles me
Can you stretch a bypass pouch by drinking to much water at once? Doesn’t it just pass to the intestine, since the pyloric valve isn’t there?
No you can not stretch your pouch by drinking too much water. You are correct in that it does just pass to the intestines
@@LiveHealthyMD you guys are awesome thanks!!
Can the ability to stretch the stomach be reduced by reducing the food portions?
Yes, here is another video about stomach stretch: czcams.com/video/4WTvuxt5OQc/video.html
@@LiveHealthyMD Thank you,
I wonder how reversible that is, I mean if it is possible to go back and forth between having an over-stretching stomach and an under-stretching one "just" by regulating the food portions over several months in order to accomplish that.
How about drinking seltzer water can I stretch it by drinking it 🤔
No, carbonated beverages will only cause bloating which can be uncomfortable but it will not cause any long-term stretching of the pouch
