June 2013 sleevers, eating more?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I was sleeved on June 19th 2013 and I'm down 96lbs, but I've noticed in the last month or so that I'm able to eat more and I'm kind of nervous about it. Anyone else experiencing the same? Is my stomach stretching?

Your stomach is not stretching. The stomach is a bit more relaxed now and it also depends on what kinds of foods your eating. If your eating sliders, you will get way more in there. Now dense Proteins, not so much... You have lost 96 lbs and that's fantastic! CONGRATS on your success! :P

I was sleeved on July 11 2013.

I think that I have always been worried that down the road I would be able to eat more I just measure to make sure I don't eat more. I stay away from slider food and stick to the Protein and veggies. I also drink hot liquid like sugar free hot cocoa or sugar free apple cider to keep the full feeling between meals. I guess I am in such fear of down the road and 3 years out that I believe that I just have to always measure and will continue. I made a promise to myself that if I did this surgery I would always measure and always work out for life.

I was sleeved June 7th and most of the time I am still limited to 4 ounces and sometimes if I luck out I can get 6 ounces in. I think during the holidays if we are eating things we don't normally partake in we have a tendency to think we ate far more than we actually did just from the guilt of it all. However, I also think we can handle sliders quite efficiently especially if we have a beverage with it. I did pretty good during the holidays..........I did let loose on New Year's Eve though!! :blink: Congratulations on the 96 pounds!! :) :)

Thx guys!!! I think you're right about the guilt. I'm also guilty of not measuring so I'm going to try to start doing so for my peace of mind

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
