A person would be the floor in tear writhing pain to have a sleeve so full to the point of stretching it. The sleeve can't be stretched folks...I trust my surgeon and he is one of the top in the nation in VGS

Its ok to try things and see if its tolerated. I advanced my post op diet really fast...I just sampled and moved forward with what worked. You're not going to damage your stomach with the TYPE of food, its how the food processes while briefly in your stomach. Also, after you are healed you can't damage your sleeve with normal eating. You would have to eat in excess to crying pains to even get close to doing anything damaging. Its a common notion on this site when people are fearing they will "stretch out their sleeve" its not going to happen. Now you will have some volume capacity increase a bit once swelling goes down but it will never again be at the size your stomach once was
Best of luck

They can be used if they don't create air build up issues for you. I never did stop using them

meredith tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life
i was nervous, scared, excited, many feelings prior to WLS, most fellow sleevers have those feelings - your concerns, thoughts are normal
i never thought i might have complications. i think i was just naive. - no problems for me - WooHoo
as far as pain, i'm a woos (probably mispelled!) too. hate the thought of pain
hopefully your pain will be minimal, maybe even non-existing - i didn't have any pain at all
good luck tomorrow
you are off to a great new healthier, happier new you
be happy
speedy recovery

Love it!

I only drink diet (Dr. Pepper 10) and its like one every day. I figured as long as I'm working out, eating right, taking in my Water each day, one soda isn't going to harm anything. And it hasn't, I've continued to slim up and lose weight. I made the decision that my sleeve was going to be a tool, not an obstacle so I have worked out agreements with it

Mr_Worm I know all NUTS are different, and there are people that on occasion will have that cola - but unfortunately my NUT said no for the rest of my life to soda - do to carbonation
BTW Mr_Worm 125 times over congrats on your great weight loss

well from a guy, GIRLS ARE ALL OVER ME...they don't care if I'm sleeved or not and my scars are not noticeable at all *flexes*

You have no food limits with a sleeve after you've advanced to the proper post stage diet. Have some popcorn! just don't load it down with as much butter and salt. Its now a life of controlled moderation...not forced misery. Remember that

She might be, she might not be. There is no formula for figuring out exactly how long it will take a person to lose "X" amount of weight. Everyone's body loses differently and there are tons of factors that can affect how fast or slow we lose weight. Besides, this isn't a race, just sit back, eat healthy and enjoy the ride.

I like Muscle Milk, I think the best one is Cake batter, but i also like banana creme and vanilla creme. The cake and banana i can only find at GNC and The Vitamin store.
