I'm 5'9 25years old, lost a total of 58 pounds.

I'm finally feeling normal, besides when I drink cold drinks it hurts my stomach. Anyone else like that?

Also I get hungry probably about 6 times a day but can only eat a few bites. Is that normal to get hungry like that? I'm so scared I'm going to stretch my sleeve;( that's my biggest fear.

I feel like I'm not on track where I should be for being almost 3 mouths out. Any advise?

Anyone have any good healthy recipes they can share?

The sleeve does not stretch. You will not stretch your sleeve.

If you've lost 58 pounds you are doing pretty good. You should try to work out if you're physically hungry or is it in your head.

I haven't been to the gym yet because of a small injury to my back but I'm going to start back in a week or so.

I was told that say after surgery your able to eat 3 bites and then your full but you take that fourth bite and then the next time your able to eat 4 bites and end up taking that fifth bite that's how you stretch it.

Yes your stomach can stretch even after the sleeve.

I am only 2 months out and 20lbs down, I would be ecstatic about 58lbs!! But my stomach can't tolerate a lot right now either and I feel like I am behind as well, but hey I guess some stomachs heal faster than others.

You aren't going to stretch you sleeve. You really aren't. Your restriction will "relax" over time as you heal up and fully recover, but that happens whether you overeat or not.

Also, it's absolutely normal to feel hunger post-op. The trick is distinguishing between head hunger and actual hunger. For me, head hunger is a craving or like when I see a commercial for something on TV and I think "that looks sooooo good" and then I want to eat it. Physical hunger is completely different. Usually I don't even realize what I am experiencing is hunger. I get grumpy and mean (totally like a Snickers commercial). I don't notice, but the people around me do. I went on vacation with my parents about 5 months post-op and my mom started carrying turkey sticks and peanuts in her purse to feed me when I started being a grouch.

Early on post-op, it's hard to get enough calories in to sustain you. So your body will experience true physical hunger.

      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.
