i'm scared it stretched!

I really don't think our new tummies stretch much; if they will/do - we'd have to work at it and for me, it would be really uncomfortable. I DO know where you're coming from though. I too obsess over this and other things like waking up one day and my hunger has returned, but in the back of my mind, I'm pretty sure I'm worrying for no reason!

At the seminar we were told that it would 'stretch' 10% - 15% from just after post-op...but you have to remember how little it is when we get out of surgery! My doctor left me with a 3 oz stomach!! So after it relaxes, heals and reaches it's full capcity, that really isn't much. The first couple of weeks post-op, I could only eat an eighth of a cup of broth, some times less, and then mushies I did good to eat an eighth of a cup that second week. Now at eight months out, I can eat a half cup of cottage cheese or spaghetti or a half an English muffin with a slice of American cheese. Those are examples. I can almost eat two eggs but I can eat 1 egg with a piece of toast. This seems like a TON of food to me when I think back to what I was eating!! I will STILL ask my husband, "did I eat a lot? " He thinks I'm nuts, I'm sure of it!! LOL You are not alone....I've been at goal since the last week of Nov and I could lose MORE weight. I still worry!!!

this is when i find myself thinking it's streched. but when i'm eating my steak, chicken, etc, i am still surprised at how fast i feel full. i still love my sleeve.

i just have mini freak-out episodes from time to time - LOL
