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>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
