I am 11 days post-op and I'm afraid my sleeve has stretched!! I can drink as much as I want without getting that full tight feeling. But I get full with about a cup of Soup (cream of chicken, potato, ect). Does this sound bad? I'm glad I can drink the fluids but I'm worried about it being stretched.

Sounds normal. I was always able to drink like a camel and some people are able to eat right away. Be careful not to irritate things though.. Your stomach is still pretty tender

I've never felt a sense of fullness when drinking. It takes real food for me to feel my restriction. So I think your as normal as me! :wacko: P.S. Don't read too much into that... it'll just make things worse. :P

I was sleeved 10/7/13 and feel the same. I can take down fluids with no problems. But when the food comes that's when I really fill the restriction. I am on purée/soft and I instantly know after 3 to 4 spoons that's it I'm full!

Come to think of it, I'm 6 weeks out today and I've never felt full drinking anything really. You didn't stretch your sleeve out.

I felt the same and I was sleeved on Sept 20th. However, I still pace myself with liquids. I am to drink Water and not feel a thing! You are ok and very normal!

Same here. I'm 8 days postop and can drink well without problems. Real restricted eating though. I had a scrambled egg today and it went done perfectly. That's my limit. One egg or 4-6 ozs of Soup.< /p>

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
