CONFESSION: Surg 12/22 with stretched stomach?

I'm seriously concerned and need honest advice. (Please, no hate. I'm already guilt stricken enough).

I had gastric sleeve surgery on 12/22/16. I got home and was fine. liquid diet for 14, no problem. After about day 8, I started craving the sensation of chewing food. So i scrambled an egg and slowly ate it. The next day, I found my husbands candy stash and gobbled down 8 (i know, i'm a horrible person) small sized Reeses Peanut Butter cups (the small ones that are in the tin foil). I got really sick to my stomach after it happened and within 30 minutes, I had diarrhea.

I instantly threw away all the candy out of remorse. However, I'm worried I stretched my stomach because before that, I was only able to take a sip of Water every 7 minutes or so. Now, i'm able to drink several sips within a 1-2 minute period.

I'm so mad at myself. But I want to know if i just messed up my whole sleeve.

    First, you can't really 'stretch' your sleeve. The surgery we had removes the fundus of the stomach, which is the stretchy part, leaving just thick, muscular tissue that the sleeve is formed from. S

I'm in therapy for this. I had my sleeve 1/9/2017. It's hard to make better decisions. I broke down last week because I miss pizza. Talk to your doctor. They have seen it all. The feelings of shame and guilt are a vicious cycle.
