Weight Regain After Gastric Sleeve
swall22 replied to DLovelySleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Also, if you don’t mind me asking. Would you describe if you ever were scared you stretched your sleeve? If so, what would you do? And what kinds of things would you eat that weren’t good/how much etc.? -
Weight Regain After Gastric Sleeve
swall22 replied to DLovelySleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you so much for bringing this up!! I’m about 2 years out. I sometimes do the 5-7 pound yo-yo and haven’t lost in a while. I started graduate school this year so I haven’t been exercising and not eating well due to stress and time restraints, which ultimately isn’t a legit excuse but still. I am scared I’ve stretched the sleeve and won’t be able to bring it back down. I think it’s because I sometimes snack and I also am not eating the best food so it’s easier to eat more. This year I definitely plan to stick to an actual plan and log food! -

Year after surgery, stomach stretched too much??
swall22 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, I am new to forums. I started though because I have a serious concern and question. I believe I have stretched my new stomach, a good bit, more than normal. I am just at a year after my sleeve. I find myself to be able to eat a good bit. Like two slices of pizza. I've eaten half of a normal sandwich with chips. I really think its because I've been pushing it and also drinking carbonated drinks. I understand changes need to be made! I am mostly concerned with getting back to a normal size stomach. Is it possible to go back? I haven't done irreparable damage, right? All help is appreciated!! Again, I know its my fault that my stomach could be too stretched. Just trying to get advice to make a change! -
I'm about 14 months post surgery and I've been running a lot lately. In the past couple weeks I've been running every day and for at least 2-3 miles, sometimes 4-6 miles. Of course I've been hungrier since the exercise picked up, but because of the wls I've been able to control it and not eat much. But I'm seeing a stall on my weight loss. I have about 10 more pounds until my goal weight. Could the running be stalling the loss? If so, how can I combat it?? Thanks in advance!!!
