2 mos post op and was wondering?

How would you know if you stretched your stomach back to it's original size? Like what would be the symptoms? I'm curious because I am 2 months post op and I am eating like I'm a year post op. I am getting in good portions with no issue and even though I am continuing to lose weight very slowly, I have this worried feeling that I might have stretched my stomach some. I feel fine so I guess I am just curious. Thanks in advance.

Is it even possible to stretch your stomach after 2 months?

Wow i ate smoked ousters today guess too fast cause it felt like it got stuck in my chest with horrible pain and had to throw it up . I hope mine stretches so i can eat again. Did this ever happen to u ?

You can stretch it out but it will NEVER be the size it once was~ This came directly from the Dr. Cirangle with is attributed to developing the vertical sleeve and it's improvements. Also, I have been unable to actual find medical literature to prove that this does exist.

In my blog I actually have a video that shows both a new sleeve and a sleeve that is a few years old. You can see that it is bigger but it is nowhere near the size that it used to be.

How much are you eating and what are you eating? Some foods definitely go down easier than dense proteins.

Your stomach can't stretch to a hugely significant degree because the fundus (the really stretchy part of your stomach) is mostly removed in a normal sleeve. As it heals and "matures" your stomach may get to a capacity of 1-1.5 cups, but your previous capacity was something like 5-6 cups, with much more stretch available to cram in extra.

If you are eating slider foods you can eat a lot more, though, because those don't linger in your stomach.
