After 80 pound weight loss
-
I am in! I am a week behind y'all! SW: 344 GW: 329 Haven't been that weight for 11 years! Good Luck Y'All!!! <3

No. It will not stretch to it's pre-surgery size. The part that is left of the stomach doesn't stretch like that. That being said, it can stretch a bit, but not what it was. Just remember to STOP when you feel full.

I think tonia86 means that lettuce is very fibrousy-is that a word?-and that if your sleeve is okay on salad then it should be okay with popcorn.

I don't have a problem with popcorn at all. I have been able to eat anything I have tried. It's all about making healthy choices and moderation.

I was sleeved 3/28. I have lost 62 lbs to date. that includes pre-op diet.I keep feeling like I am slow because I have stalls for a couple weeks, then I have a weight loss. Had my 3 mo check up. My surgeon said I am doing great, that I am right where he wants me. I love my sleeve! I LOOOOVE it!
-
YAY!!! That is So great! I am happy for you!

Congrats on your weight loss! You are doing Amazing! I am just a couple weeks behind you. I was sleeved on 3/28 and I am down 62 lbs. It is hard- what we're going through, but it is SO worth it! You have a lot of fun to be looking forward too! Chin up and keep going!!!
-
YAY YOU!!!!!!! What fun! I am SO happy for you! Congratulations!!!!!!!
-
I am SO sorry! It is so hard waiting. It will happen for you. Just keep doing what the doctor says and I know it is hard, just be patient.

The pre-op diet is for two reasons, imo, 1. Shrink your liver and 2. to help you with will power and getting in the right frame of mind for your lifestyle change. Think of NIKE and "Just Do It"! It is HARD, but it is ALL so worth it! I wish you the best!

I was on the diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I lost 16 pounds.
