@@LisaLouBop, thanks, I had already found this thread and read through it after your suggestion. It seems that there are 2 schools of thought on being able to stretch your sleeve.

It would seem to me that the further out you are the more pliable and stretchy your sleeve can become. Maybe it can't stretch in the beginning due to the tightness caused by the initial swelling from surgery.

I'm 6 weeks post surgery, I really feel that I should not be able to hold 6ozs of food. But I noticed yesterday and today that I was eating ribs and chicken and could only eat a little over 2ozs.

All I can conclude from that is that the contents of the burrito bowl is just not that dense. In total I think it only had 2ozs of chicken in it and I only ate half the chicken the first time, the rest of the meal was cheese, Beans and guacamole.

I know I'm stressing for nothing. I just feel like this is my last shot at getting my life back on track and actually being in control of my weight loss for once. I really don't want to mess this up.

It's exactly those kinds of sharp observations you made about the contents of your bowl that will lead you to success.

I think you're going to do great.
