Hello everyone I'm typing this because I have a lil concern. I had my gateic sleeve procedure done on the 18th of April n have been just eating three spoon fulls ( not a complete tablespoon) and I would get full. Presently like today I'm able to eat beyond that,I was wondering if I've stretched my sleeve,I had eaten high caloric foods maybe like two tlbspoon n drunk a sip or two to push it down ( won't ever so that again) or did I pop my stable?

I can't really speak for what you ate, but I can tell you that as swelling from surgery subsides you'll be able to eat more food. People's swelling goes down at different rates- I was a quick "healer".Also, it's pretty much impossible to stretch your sleeve with one (or even a few) bad eating situations. Besides, the part of the stomach the sleeve is made with generally doesn't stretch that much.

That being said, you are still healing so be careful to weigh your portions and work to eat to the point of satisfaction but not fullness.Take it easy on that staple line! If you feel you've hurt yourself, i.e. you're in pain, running fever, etc. then I encourage you to contact your doctor.

Hang in there!

Thx Amanda I was thinking that I messed myself up n was about to just continue eating three teasPoons. I am akwas hungry I just ate a pc of fish like eight o clock n I'm hungry. One thing I need to know when I'm full. I'm thinking when my food is in my throat that's when I stopped eating n was content but I would truly like to know. Also can someone tell me about the funny gurgling feeling

I was sleeved 1 week after you and my surgeon said I am "out of the danger zone". That's assuming sanity and being careful of course.

I am not eating much but much more than you. I had about 3 tablespoons of tuna salad, 1 teaspoon baby food peas and 1 teaspoon applesauce for dinner. Tuna pureed. I am stuffed . That was my "big" meal of the day. I really could live without the teaspoon of peas and applesauce but we are to have what I considered "simulated meals" so I do it. I just started back on real pureed foods yesterday. That's a 3 week phase then to 3 weeks of soft food. I thought I would hate this long window but so far everything is pretty tasty and, of course, megga filling.
