@@westonmark It's not likely you will stretch your stomach - especially on full liquids. They move through your sleeve quickly. I would be sure to measure your food and only eat the suggested portion size. I am not sure what that is with full liquids but your paperwork should say so. I am on mushy foods and am allowed 1-2ozs every 2.5-3 hrs. I think you can have more full liquids.

What are you eating on full liquids?

If you are stopping at the FIRST sign of full and sipping VERY slowly, you are eating just the right amount.

agreed! because eating/drinking slowly exhausts you and you will stop it quickly. this ensures that you are not eating humongous amount.
