Will drinking water stretch my sleeve?

[kabertoson 5]

I am 12 months post op and have not lost anything for two months. I do drink lots of Water. I can drink 24 ounces at a time with no problem. Is this an issue? Am I stretching my sleeve out? Thanks.

Nope

NO, drink your 64 ounces. A year out you should be able to eat and drink fairly normally.

As far as I know, the sleeve won't stretch because the stretchy part of the stomach was cut away. I watched my barium swallow test immediately post-op and liquids were emptied from my stomach rapidly. Once the swelling goes down, I would think that fluids would travel even faster.

This is a long way of saying I truly doubt that drinking Water would stretch your stomach. I would think that if you drank too much Water it would just come back up before it stretched anything.

No.

No but when you say at one time, are you saying you can gulp down 24 ounces in fairly short order (i.e. minutes?). if so, not sure it will stretch out your sleeve but not sure it is wise either. Are you tracking your food? Getting in your Protein? Had a change in exercise?

I"m glad you asked...I meant to ask my dr this yesterday and forgot.

No, it won't.

Thank you all for your advice. By short order I mean , 10 minutes. As for my exercise, I need to get better. The same goes the same for the food log. I am going to start tracking again to see what I am doing.

You definitely need to keep a food log. I would have no idea whether or not I was meeting my Protein target without one. My memory is just not that good.
