Just a quick question: can anyone give a description of how a stretched VSG stomach would feel and do you believe or know if it can or cannot happen (especially being 4 months post op)? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

The bad thing with that is my supervisor is one of the onrs speeding the rumors. She also had the surgery a few months before me but she told everyone and thays fine for her. She just doesn't want anyone to out-do her. She's petty and catty also!! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App You this is funny but just this morning I was thinking the same thing. Women are so messy, nosey and jealous. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Hey, don't feel bad. At least you recognized your downfall and you're able to put yourself back on track. I'm 4 months post op. The past, I'd say, 2 weeks I've slipped into a few old bad habits myself. I was snacking on trail mix that has sesame sticks and rice crackers in it. It's good but I'm sure they have lots of carbs. I also have had a few chocolate chip Cookies which is definitely not in the plan. I've lost only one pound each week which upsets me but its my own fault. This week I'm getting it back together again. I'm going to incorporate more fruits and eat Soup. They tend to work better and they work better with my sleeve. I never drink enough Water and that bothers me. I really try but the desire for it is just not there. I like the drink mix ins but they have aspartame which isn't good to consume. I do get my protein in really good due to Premier Protein. I find it to be the better one for me. I wish you the best and you can do this. Lets stay on course!!!

I am 4 months post op. I can eat pretty much any kind of good within moderation. I'm still figuring out what works with my sleeve. I'm wondering is it possible that I have stretched my stomach. I don't think that I over eat. I drink one premiere Protein drink in the morning, I drink a bottle of Water (with crystal light), sometimes before lunch I will snack with some trail mix or some occasional chips (approximately a cup full), for lunch I will eat either 4ounces of cottage cheese, Soup or chicken salad, then I'll have a snack again, another Protein Drink and dinner is pretty much the same as lunch. There are times when I will eat a spoonful of rice, a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a half of a sausage patty and one forth of a piece of toast. I consider that meal large now. If I'm feeling like the food that I've eaten is just underneath my sternum, is that considered packed and stretching my stomach, is it that I'm full or have I had just enough? Can anyone answer these questions for me? Am I eating too much? I'm currently only losing like 1 or 2 pounds each week which seems really slow now. Can you stretch your stomach just 4 months after surgery? I need help!! Thanks in advance for anything that you can help with!!! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I'll remember that. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I don't eat processed meat and not rice too often. Just the past 2 days. I only eat brown rice though. I'm not sure if that matters. I'm not making excuses. I really hope that my weight loss picks up. Thank you all again. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I'm from the North Dallas area near Plano. I was sleeved on March 21st, 2016 by Dr. Colleen Kennedy at Baylor Scott White in Plano. Excellent doctor! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you guys. I typically don't eat that everyday. I should've said that earlier. I just had the brown rice and toast on today and yesterday. I'm not a big meat Water. I definitely do t eat pork or seafood. I'm strictly chicken or turkey. I do eat trail mix kind of often. I will have to incorporate more green vegetables. I do forget about those. I have to do better. Do you or anyone happen to know if the doctor would give an xray or upper GI upon request of I wanted to know if I've stretched my stomach?

Has anyone experienced a stall for the first time post op and then begin to lose weight at a slow pace? In afraid that my sleeve may have ran its course early in the race. I was sleeved on March 21st and I've only lost 43 pounds. I feel I should've lost more by now. Shouldn't I be losing at least 5 pounds per week? I don't eat a lot and I'm trying to get as much liquid as possible. Anyone have any suggestions or advice? PLEASE!! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

TO ALL OF YOU WHO RESPONDED TO MY POST, THANK YOU! This really helped me. I was getting so upset that I wasn't losing enough. I read each of your responses diligently and I took all advice into consideration. I'm not giving up. I'll continue to find ways to eat and drink better in order to have better results.

Wow you are doing great! What an inspiration! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

How do you get 800 calories in in one day? I can't. I'm at about 500-600. What are you eating to do that? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Had my surgery March 21, 2016 with Dr. Colleen Kennedy in Plano. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Wow you look great! Your pics are inspiring. What did you eat usually? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow, I thought this was just isolated to me only! I stay cold ever since I had my surgery. I live in Texas and just the other day it was 96 degrees and I was thankful to feel the heat while others complained. I wonder will this be forever. I kind of don't mind sometimes. But when I go to bed, I have on socks, a gown, a robe and 2 blankets and a comforter and I'm still cold. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Since my sleeve surgery, I've experienced frequent hiccups. Does anyone know if that's normal, if in time will they subside? It's a bit irritating. I experience them more so after I eat. Has anyone else experienced this as well? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you fernandfj.I kind of thought that was what that was about. That helps. I thought something was wrong with me. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on March 21, 2016. I started losing weight (20 lbs before surgery) pretty quickly each week. Of course I was super excited. Now in the past week, I only lost one pound. I'm barely eating (maybe 450 calories per day total. Do you think that my sleeve procedure isn't going to work for me? Has anyone else experienced this and began to loose weight again?

I've found that I've been able to gulp Water and I've been doing it for about 2 weeks. I'm one month and one week post op. Is that bad? Will I ruin my new stomach? Can Romeo,e give me their opinion. It will be greatly appreciated. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you once again Christinamo7. I just want to do this right. How long have you been sleeved if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you once again. You are right. It is a tool. I think this really helped. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

That scale is mean to me! It looks me dead in the eye and doesn't back down! Lol! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Christinamo7, thank you for that. I was kind of getting upset about it. This blog really helps. At first I didn't think it would. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Maybe so. Ok. Another thing that really made me wonder is because my supervisor came back to work, 3 weeks post op, eating Sonic's Little Chickies, Chili's and Wendy's. Although she couldn't eat a lot of it, it's still the caloric intake and bad for you. I'm like wow, really!!?? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App
