Curious to hear about your post op eating habits. I am 5 Months out and I still eat very little but just recently have started to experience a greater level of hunger. I haven’t over eaten at all but am worried that my sleeve is stretching

I am six months out and can eat more than just last month but i started working out pretty heavily which can stimulate appetite also

It is highly unlikely that it has stretched (ask for diagnostics if really worried) most likely the swelling from surgery is gone which leaves more room for food. Some one please correct me if i am wrong...

Also beware of slider foods with offer no resistance in the new stomach which leaves you hungrier quicker. They can also lead to higher than expected kcal counts . For me its yogurt nuts and seeds. Seemingly healthy right except 28-30g of nuts are 160-190 kcals!

One year out here. You will notice you can increasingly eat more, but if you get the Protein first and then whatever side, you should get the full signal and be able to stop.

My first few months I was kind of terrified because I could eat so little. But now I’m a happy medium.

Tonight i went to sushi and had 3 pieces of wife’s roll and 5 slices of sashimi and feel just right.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
