Hi,
I am getting my sleeve surgery in a couple months and am worried that all my joy in eating food will be gone.
)
How much does the sleeve tend to stretch couple years after surgery? How much can you eat? ( please tell me in cups!
If I can only eat like a couple of bites for the rest of my life I'm considering asking the surgeon to make my sleeve slightly larger. But if the sleeve stretches a bit where eating a cup of food can get comfortable, I just want a normal sized small sleeve.
Watermelon is one of my favorite foods and I'm so sad that i'll be only able eat like 3 or 4 one inch cubes of it
I am a female 5'3", so if anyone can tell me how much watermelon they can usually eat, or how large of a portion they are capable of eating of different foods... please tell me!!
I heard the sleeve stretches so I'm hoping maybe 5 years after the surgery I could eat like 2 cups of food or so.
I had the lap band and my pouch stretched quite a bit after just one year. is this similar with the gastric sleeve?
Please tell me how much you are capable of eating as time after surgery passes!
Thank you so much!
