im constantly worried that eating more when i feel like i can will stretch out my sleeve. im constantly stopping myself from eating more and sometimes wondering if im eating enough. does that make sense? does anyone have any knowledge on how the sleeve can stretch. is it something that easily happens??? im following my doctors plans but sometimes still terrified

I would limit myself to 4 oz for now and fill with veggies. Im a 220 lb dude and I can just eat a 4oz tuna steak at one sitting, at 9 months post op. I would never attempt 8oz at one meal anymore. I break my meals into smaller meals to keep my metabolism going all day. So I may eat 2 meals 2 to 3 hours apart, where I split 4 to 6 oz of protein. This works best for me as I dont like that really full feeling if I eat the entire 4 to 6 oz at once.

i am a woman. my doctor told me i'll be working my way up to 6 oz - 8oz. i have been eating around 4 or 5. No problems, no full feeling . I haven't had any issues with any food. I can tolerate everything. Which i should feel good about but being that its only be a little over a month makes me nervous. i left a message for my doctor cause i dont see him again for 3 months.

was just looking for some other peoples perspective didn't need to upset anyone.

No ones upset ? Who's upset the questions are just to try and help.
I don't think he meant 6 ounces this early I would stick to 4 ounces. And try not to worry because your still healing so you may not recognize your new full feeling. I don't eat till I'm full . Sorry for assuming you are a male I thought your name was leo my apologies.

I'm going to be starting my 3rd stage this Monday and in really worried that I won't feel full at all. Right now I'm hungry all the time. True in still on just liquid protein shakes but my nutritionist said as long as I have 80 to 90g in protein shakes I shouldn't be hungry. But I feel starved all the time.. I'm worried I'm going to be the one person this surgery doesn't work on..

Stop worrying prematurely your wasting your energy. Your body is used to eating solid food then suddenly shocked into not eating. People will keep repeating it's different when your on dense protein. Listen to people.

That's okay. I'm a female though . [emoji23] We all worry it's normal but remember stress can hinder weightloss so keep relaxed.
