Hi,

After gastric sleeve surgery it’s important to keep your stomach away from the overeating cycle that can lead to a stretched stomach. If you ate too much on Thanksgiving your stomach will stretch. However, if after a large meal, your next meal is a large meal and you continue this on a regular basis you risk permanently stretching your stomach. The danger is not in the size of your stomach. The danger is that you will skew the triggers for hunger and fullness. This will lead to a continued cycle of overeating, which will then lead to weight gain. So follow your doctor orders, eat less and if have any queries please feel free to ask.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
