Can you stretch it if you eat to fast?

Are we allowed to have turkey bacon? I thought I read somewhere we couldn't.

It does come easier with time I don't have a problems with the whole waiting 30 mins before and after. It's the eating part. I'm still on 1/4 of a cup so how can I make that last a half hour.

Is anyone having nuts for their protein in take? What kind are you having?

I was just wondering if anyone had an eating disorder after surgery? I know My Doctor told us during a Seminar that it can happen.

I only go once a week and it hurts so bad when I do go I feel like I'm going to rip.

Yay, How exciting!

I was sleeved on January 5th and this is my biggest fear! I constantly have this in the back of my mind even though my nut says I am doing a great job. I know your sleeve does stretch after the swelling goes down but by how much though?. I see my doctor on April 1st and I feel so bad I have a ton of questions for ask him!!

I am constantly feeling like I am doing stuff wrong. I get so upset over it. Does anyone else seem to have this problem.

What do you mean by that?

After reading these I am not going to be having nuts now.

After reading these I am not going to be having nuts now.

Today I went out for lunch and what seem to be a very small amount I eat. Felt like I over ate! Has this ever happened to anyone before?

I get the Listerine Strips that dissolves on your tongue.

Have you tried to add crystal light to it? That's why I drink with my water and it's only 5 Calories. I can't drink water unless it's freezing with ice cubes in it.

That happen to me I went to dress barn the other day to buy a couple of outfits because I gave away ALL my big clothes an at first the girl in the store didn't even know who I was and I would shop there monthly. Then she told me I should be shopping down stairs and I'm looking at her like I'm not going to fit in those sizes yet. She was like yes you will and bought me some stuff to try on an when I looked in the mirror I was like is this even happening I haven't wore these sizes since College!

I was completely opposite before surgery. I used to go about eight times a day diarrhea. Now I'm lucky if I go every 4-5 and it's painful when I do go!! That I have to move in different positions because of it. I even went to the ER because I thought I had a blockage turn out I was dehydrated and once they gave me the fluids boy did I go. (I had no control) Try Milk of magnesia that has helped for me or even an enema.

I am curious about what you mean. Do you feel this way because it is unclear to you what you are supposed to do? Do you know what to do but choose not to do it? Are you doing what you are supposed to do but think that somehow there is a "right" way and a "wrong" way? I personally find what I am supposed to do to follow my program is simple (but not necessarily easy). What can you do to gain more confidence? Do you have a counselor or therapist you can talk to? Getting upset with yourself when you are doing your best can't be helpful. What can we do to help? I am follow everything to the T! I'm two months post op and down 63 Ibs from pre op and post op I go to the gym 6 days a week but like Saturday I went out to eat out and what I thought was a very small portion I ate. I guess wasn't because I got that feeling that I had over ate. Yesterday I ate a small amount of garlic bread and two fried calamari and felt horrible right after It went in my mouth. I didn't get sick from it but knowing I shouldn't of had it made me upset and then I thought great I'm stretching my sleeve an it ruined the rest of my day.

Hey Ry! I was at a restaurant and I literally only have one fourth of a cup I was sleeved on 1-5 and I only got that feeling twice. My problem is chewing and taking my time with it. My biggest fear is to stretch my stomach. [emoji853]

I usually feel full before I finish 1/4 cup.

I am almost two months post - op and ate 3 - 5 Small Fired Shrimp. Thank God I didn't get sick from it. but I feel like a horrible person because I cheated. I try to never finish my 1/4 of a cup for anything I eat.

You guys are all great!! I just feel bad about eating it.

So I thought after losing 60Ibs. I would put myself out there. So I was talking to a guy for a couple of days whom seem to be really nice and had his act together. Just to end up annoying me. lol Why do I even bother or even put myself out there !?! Now I am sitting at work upset thinking I am not good enough for pple. I have always had a hard time dating.
