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!

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
