I'm 3 1/2 months out and I eat a lot of soft foods due to my sensitive teeth but I can eat my meals sometimes in less than 15 minutes I have no discomfort when I eat fast.I never over eat I only eat about 8oz a meal or less. Will eating not slow cause my pouch to stretch out?? I try and try to eat slower

my understanding is the sleeve will not actually ever stretch.The stretchable part of the stomach is removed in the VGS I am two months out and a fast eater, I asked my dr and nut and that is what they told me. Eating slows helps us know when we are full and not stuffed, and chewing small bites well, makes digestion easier. I still eat fast too, we are fine. I have reached the stuffed point and had to throw up, not much food either.

Ok I was so worried lol my body will tell me when I'm full by my nose running .I Amway measure my food because I'm so scared of that pain people describe when they over eat and I hate to throw up so I'm doing all I can to avoid it. Only one time I slamed a 20oz Protein shake to fast and that made me feel horrible so I stick to drinking 11oz fast lol
