I was sleeved on Wednesday, and I started stage III last night. I'm terrified of stretching my stomach again.. I was just eating a jello, and I could almost eat the entire thing. Has anybody else gone through the same thing???

Okay, relax. Early on you will not feel much of a restriction, but you will once you get to dense foods.. Your stomach won't stretch, but pressure could be put on the staple line so please be careful for the first few months. Not sure if jello is on your eating plan this early but I would try to stick to liquids for at least the first week or so.

Thank you so much for making me feel more normal!!! They moved me to stage III at the hospital. I can have jello, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. I was freaking out about not having "the full effect". Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
