Stretched ?

[couger94 19]

Hi everyone. Maybe I'm paranoid but I was sleeved 11 days ago. My dr started letting me eat real food again ( granted soft, reintroduction etc) since day 8. One night I ate to much. Didn't mean to just ate faster than i should have, probably about 5 oz. didn't vomit but was uncomfortable. That was 3 days ago or so. Anyway today I noticed I can drink more fluids than before. So my question is did I stretch my sleeve already and therefor have failed already or is it possible that there was some swelling in my stomach that may have dissipated or any other ideas? Thanks everyone.

You are too early out to have stretched anything....swelling can last for weeks and even months for some...I'd say it was subsiding some & that's why you were able to drink more...fluids and Protein need to be your focus...I know it is hard and gets old, but you gotta do it..you will feel better & lose better. Remember, sips and go slow! Best of luck to you! Hang in there!

I was sleeved about 2 weeks ago. Around day 11 or 12 post op I found I was able too drink a larger amount than before too. I think some swelling went down. I have been on a liquid diet since surgery and will be for 4 weeks post op. . I dont think you should worry. I don't think one time of eating too much won't stretch you sleeve, but you should be careful in the future. Try weighing and measuring your foods to prevent any stretching of your stomach. Good luck!

It happens in a blink! About two weeks out you'll be able to drinl Water a little more like normal:)

Dont worry you did not stretch sleeve. Everyone has different levels off swelling on inside, as it goes down you will be able to dr

I felt the same way after i starting to eating food. But my doctor assured me that its normal. Thing will go down easier after a while!
