I will be 6months postop (gastric sleeve) I'm worried that my stomach may have stretched I'm able to consume more food then before and my weight loss past month hasn't really changed is this normal ? I've still got 10kg to go I'm stressing so much

your stomach is pretty swollen the first few weeks from the surgery so it doesn't have much capacity. So yes - as time goes on and the swelling goes away you can eat more. You probably haven't stretched it. Just make sure you're following your plan - just because you *can* eat something doesn't mean you should. I still watch my volume at over 4 years out..

and yes - weight loss slows down quite a bit after the first few months.

I know today I woke up hoping to stick to my plan from now I've been slacking tbh
So would I still loose weight ? When do I stop loosing weight ? I'm scared I won't loose anymore :(

Are you eating Protein first? I know if I ever go away from that golden rule I can overeat and eat things that I don’t “need”. I’m in my 6th month and I could eat more than I should pretty easily. Lean protein first. Then add veggies. Then a whole grain carb if you’re still hungry. And don’t forget to drink a lot before you eat. Get the Water in. Log your food if you stopped. It will tell you how many calories you’re really having.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
