Is stomach strecthing real? I have read a lot about it, but has anyone experienced it? Can it happen within weeks of being post-op? Does it stop weight loss?

@@Fettchick83,

There’s debate over stomach stretching, but it seems as though many people agree that it’s not a real thing. You can get used to overeating if you aren’t careful to do exactly what you’ve probably been told to do: measure everything, choose the right foods, stop eating before you’re quite full, eat slowly, etc.

It’s true that you can out-eat your sleeve if you’re not careful, but that doesn’t mean your stomach stretched. It can mean you’re filling it too full, drinking your calories, eating “slider” foods that aren’t filling, or eating super calorie-dense foods.

Don’t worry – just go with the plan!
