Can you stretch your sleeve



Recommended Posts

Not very surprised. pop corn and chips tend to be "slider foods". They get through the sleeve very easily without making us very full. They also have absolutely 0 nutritional value. That's why one of the rules is to "fill your pouch with the most nutritious, dense foods first" meaning good Protein, veggies. Once you're done with that you will not be able to have very much of the popcorn.

if done correctly you can't stretch your sleeve. The stretchy part of your stomach is removed

popcorn is a slider food. I can eat a ton of it

Next time find a Protein packed snack like,cheese, almonds or Jerky. If you have to sneak it in, so be it ;)

Stay away from anything that isn't giving you Protein first until you're practically to your goal weight. That helps with getting there for sure. popcorn won't.

You are probably not going to want to hear this.....but the answer is "Neither".

Nuts are really not something you want to be fooling with at this point in the game. Way too caloric.

If you feel you simply can't live without them, then buy the 100 calorie packs and stick to just a single pack.

8 weeks has you in the prime timeframe to be in hardcore weight loss and sticking firmly to your plan.

Meals vs Snacks.

Snacking is an old behavior from the past that we have to learn to stop doing.

All foods will be able to be enjoyed down the road....in very close moderation.....but all foods are certainly on the menu. It's just a matter of if you are willing to take on the calories and lack of nutrition that come with some of them.

Right now.....it's the time to burn it off.

I had to learn this the hard way with nuts and cheeses.

@@Jesm1029, This book really helped me. It is written by a surgeon and it's an excellent guide to how you should be eating. I reference it often https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Gastric-Sleeve-Success-Practical/dp/B01CDHMV0E

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
