Can you stretch your sleeve



Recommended Posts

Not very surprised. pop corn and chips tend to be "slider foods". They get through the sleeve very easily without making us very full. They also have absolutely 0 nutritional value. That's why one of the rules is to "fill your pouch with the most nutritious, dense foods first" meaning good Protein, veggies. Once you're done with that you will not be able to have very much of the popcorn.

if done correctly you can't stretch your sleeve. The stretchy part of your stomach is removed

popcorn is a slider food. I can eat a ton of it

Next time find a Protein packed snack like,cheese, almonds or Jerky. If you have to sneak it in, so be it ;)

Stay away from anything that isn't giving you Protein first until you're practically to your goal weight. That helps with getting there for sure. popcorn won't.

You are probably not going to want to hear this.....but the answer is "Neither".

Nuts are really not something you want to be fooling with at this point in the game. Way too caloric.

If you feel you simply can't live without them, then buy the 100 calorie packs and stick to just a single pack.

8 weeks has you in the prime timeframe to be in hardcore weight loss and sticking firmly to your plan.

Meals vs Snacks.

Snacking is an old behavior from the past that we have to learn to stop doing.

All foods will be able to be enjoyed down the road....in very close moderation.....but all foods are certainly on the menu. It's just a matter of if you are willing to take on the calories and lack of nutrition that come with some of them.

Right now.....it's the time to burn it off.

I had to learn this the hard way with nuts and cheeses.

@@Jesm1029, This book really helped me. It is written by a surgeon and it's an excellent guide to how you should be eating. I reference it often https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Gastric-Sleeve-Success-Practical/dp/B01CDHMV0E

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
