sueoco 509 Posted November 26, 2012 Yes- I remember that feeling well! It felt like your whole mouth had a coating on it. I used this tea tree mount wash that was alcohol free (supposed to work better) and it kept that feeling away for a while. 1 *Dean* reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussie kelloff 79 Posted November 26, 2012 I have a question for all the 3+ months post op sleevers. I am 4 months out and today at lunch I was able eat a whole tin of tuna with 5 crackers. (one of those tuna thingys that come with it all one) I have never been able to eat a whole one. It did take me 25 mins. I know it's probably not even a half a cup, but just checking this is normal? I have been eating do little since the beginning am a little scared my sleeve has stretched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some days I can eat a big meal and I think "wow, I shouldn't have been able to do that" then other days, 2 bites and I'm stuffed. Today was one of those days. I can usually eat a tub of yoghurt no worries, today I only got 1/2 way before I felt full. I usually wait 10-20mins then give it another go, if I still feel full, I toss the rest. Sometimes I find just by waiting, I can finish the portion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puppyphat 397 Posted November 26, 2012 And by big meal, I mean a fillet of salmon about the size of a toothpaste tube. I'm about 3 1/2 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelliv 659 Posted November 26, 2012 Sorry 'crackers, but would feel quite full. I don't believe our sleeves are really able to stretch. My surgeon told me it is almost impossible and that the bit hey didn't cut away is the least stretchy part. I am not worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aussie kelloff 79 Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks kelliv, it was the first time I ate it and didn't feel uncomfortable. Yes I was full. I did hear that too that it's not going to stretch, but your mind gets away from you, thinking I will just go back to how I was before, as I have done so many times before. 1 deb1405 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swift Kate 72 Posted November 26, 2012 Hello all, I posted about a month ago but was waiting to see surgeon as to talking about removing band and being sleeved. In the meantime i have been addicted to this strand and have been quite motivated by all the posts. I have had my band for two miserable years. Anyhow the good news is that I saw my surgeon today and I have a date.....15 January!!!!!!!! He is going to remove band and if everything looks ok will do the sleeve in the same op. I am very excited although he said I have a two out of three chance of the sleeve being done at the same time providing there is minimal scarring caused by the band. So I won't know until I wake up from the op whether both procedures have been done. He said he will err on the side of caution so I can't really argue with that. I have to do two weeks of Optifast so it all starts in the new year. Woo hoo! 1 deb1405 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
