    @Emory I think 44 lbs in a month is terrific! Highly doubtful that you've stretched your sleeve, but you should talk to your surgical team. Have you had any post-op checkups yet?

    You would have to be very large portions very frequently over a prolonged period of time to stretch your tummy. And certainly if you had stretched your tummy this close to your surgery you would have had issues with torn stitches/staples & you’d know about it.
    How much have you lost since your surgery? How much were you expecting to lose at four weeks? A lot of people have very unreal expectations of how much weight they should be losing based upon programs like My 600lb Life. They lose large amounts of weight because they had large amounts to lose to begin. In my first 4 weeks I’d lost about 8kg (about 17lbs). This was a pretty reasonable amount for my height, weight, age & gender.
    Have you experienced the three weeks stall (though it can happen at week 2, 3, or 4)? With a stall, which is extremely common, you may not lose for anywhere from a week to 3 weeks. It’s just your body coming to terms with all the changes. You will start to lose again & you will likely experience stalls again as you lose.
    Ask your medical team for portion size recommendations. Most recommend 1/4 to 1/3 cup to begin but there are variations. Some are given caloric goals. Personally, it would take me three days to eat 2 scrambled eggs so three meals but some can eat more. I still think you should be eating a wider variety of foods to get a broader range of nutrients. Sweet potatoes are very low in Protein. Are you meeting your daily protein goals? Are you tracking the caloric & nutritional content or your food?

    I am new here. Not really sure how to navigate this site yet.
    I am 1 month post surgery. I was told by friends who have had the sleeve that in the beginning it will be tough for them to get things down and keep them down.
    my doctor's assistant also warned me that things can come back up. The ONLY thing I had a problem with was avacado and I wouldnt really call it a "problem."
    about 10 burps... all better. Other than that.. lol I cook 4 eggs in the a.m. (scrambled) and eat them throughout the day. Sometimes one or two small baked sweet potato's and a shake. Not losing like I thought. Am I doing this wrong? Am I eating too much? I don't seem to have a problem with larger amounts at all. I honestly dont feel like I had anything done at all. Is there a chance I stretched my new stomach out? Any advice would be helpful.
