How easy is it to stretch out the stomach after a sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I am getting better at eating. I don't throw up at every meal most days. My family is very good at telling me not to eat big bites or too quickly. When they think I have eaten enough they tell me to stop. They tell me they don't want me to stretch out my sleeve. I don't eat more than a 1/2 cup of food at any meal. I don't want to stretch out my sleeve. How easy is it to stretch out the stomach after having a sleeve? I worry in 6 months and more I will go back to eating like I did before the sleeve. Thank you for your input.

Is your body telling you to stop? I hiccup when I'm full. Listen to ur body. If that doesn't work u may have to count your calories.

It's not easy to stretch out your stomach but you can fill it with foods that won't make you feel full. Are you measuring your food? You should not be vomiting at all if you are eating slowly, taking small bites, not drinking with your meal, and eating less than your stomach can hold. At 4 weeks out I could not have eaten 1/2 cup of dense Protein. I could eat 1/2 cup of Soup.< /p>

My plan tells me no more than 1/4 cup right now - I can do about 2 tbsp of solid Protein and that's it. I can easily eat 1/2 cup of Soup because of course it is mostly broth or liquid. I can do the same with a yogurt or pudding. So I guess it all depends on what you are eating.
