I don't think mine has shrunk, but I can't eat any more than I could 6 weeks postop. I do think about how I will keep from losing too much. I am 10 months out and am getting close to goal. On a good day I can only eat 1 oz. of any meat at dinner. No way to meat earlier in the day. I mostly get by on beans and soups, crackers, protein shakes. It gets really boring. Whats really crazy is I can eat tortilla chips and salsa, a couple cookies, chocolate, and ice cream. And yet salad is totally not okay. I can't eat raw things like that at all. My doctor did tell me that it would be pretty impossible to stretch the sleeve which is good, but sometimes I feel like I can't eat enough...
