Stomach Stretching

[Beck90 189]

For me.. I'm only three weeks out.. but my sense of hunger has changed a lot.. I don't really feel hunger anymore.. (sometimes I do have head hunger and crave thing I used to eat before) but I can sense my body telling me that it needs food - for instance yesterday I did a really intense Water aerobic exercise for an hour. And a little while after I got an intense sense of needing to eat.. but it wasn't.. hunger really.. just a sense that my body needed some food rather than just liquids.

There’s debate over stomach stretching, but it seems as though many people agree that it’s not a real thing. You can get used to overeating if you aren’t careful to do exactly what you’ve probably been told to do: measure everything, choose the right foods, stop eating before you’re quite full, eat slowly, etc.

It’s true that you can out-eat your sleeve if you’re not careful, but that doesn’t mean your stomach stretched. It can mean you’re filling it too full, drinking your calories, eating “slider” foods that aren’t filling, or eating super calorie-dense foods.

Don’t worry – just go with the plan!
