Guys, help! I am so worried my sleeve is stretched out :((((

I just ate 5 1/2 ounces of a combination of chicken and rice in some peanut sauce, it comes out to almost 2/3 a cup. I am a little over 7 months out, and I am so scared my sleeve is huge! Can anyone help or give advice? I'm really worried my stomach is too big, especially since most people on here say that they can only eat 2 or so ounces. I know that eventually out sleeves are supposed to hold a little more, but I feel like that comes way father out, like a year or so! So my concern is that my sleeve is going to continue to get big and by a year out I'll be able to eat like I used to! This may sound irrational, but I am very fearful! Please help if you can!

I was told to expect that my stomach would hold 1/2 to 1 cup of food around the six month stage, so 2/3 cup sounds about right.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
