When was your surgery? When it heals and the swelling goes away you Can hold more. I assure you it's not stretched.

You need to drink more Water and you will be able to eat more as time goes by 6 tbs is still very little.

If you still have nausea, and are vomiting and have diaherra, please see your team. Fix that first and you WILL be better. PS, your stomach has not stretched or grown back.

You sound pretty typical for a month out. 6 TBLE won't stretch your stomach. Over the next several months, you will gradually be able to eat more and more. It relaxes some and the swelling goes down. Just focus on the rules your surgeon gave you. It does get easier, and you'll figure out how your new stomach works and how weight loss will continue.
