Hey all...sleeved on august 22. Lost 45 so far.
I am soo worried about stretching my stomach though. Now that I feel better I can pretty much eat anything. Some days I worry cause I've eaten more than I could during recovery. I listen to my body and eat when hungry and stop when I dont. I haven't dietedb at all figuring I can't diet and have the sleeve. Should I be concerned or am I being silly. Some days I can eat more others I cant. I just had a cup of Soup with meat in it and feel guilty bit maybe I shouldnt. I just don t want this to fail since it seems to be working. So scared of stretching it out.

I appreciate the response. I too expected it to be much worse and I guess I am one of the lucky ones who have had little issue with any if it. I guess when I put that together with now not loosing I figure right away...oh just like my failed diets this ain't gonna work either. Ill try and put that fear aside and hopefully soon ill start to loose again:)

I was sleeved on the 22. I have to say I have been pretty lucky not very much pain and I was out of the hospital in 2 days. It's now been just over two weeks and I'm back to work. I am a little sleepy sometimes but other than that my incisions are you in quite nicely and I don't have very much pain. To be honest the worst part of this whole surgery was when they took the drain out man that hurt like hell but as soon as it was out it took almost all the pain away I had em up side. Anyways now I have lost 24 pounds but I lost all of that within the first 10 days the last 8 days or so I haven't lost anything and I'm starting to worry. My surgeon says its normal but I feel like I'm eating too much I listen to my body n eat when I'm hungry I can eat very much maybe half a cup and then I'm full. But then I eat a couple of hours later. I am on pureed foods although I have snuck in a few things a little chunky and all seems to fit fine. I almost feel like I haven't had the surgery and I'm half worrying that I've stretched out my stomach already or something because I haven't lost anymore weight. Has anybody else experienced this?

Hey all,
As the title says I am new to the site and just recently had the sleeve done. I think I'm doing fairly well I'm past my first two weeks of Fluid and am now starting pureed foods. On the date I started the presurgical diet I weighed 363 after surgery and two weeks I now weigh 337. Not too bad. Looking forward to being able to update as I've gained confidence reading all your stories. Oh and ya, split up with my bf a month before this...never a better time to start!
