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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
