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

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

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
