Eating More

I am 5 week post op and I have noticed that I am able to eat a little more than I did right after surgery. Is this normal? or should I be concerned? It's not much more and I am still staying in My 500- 800 cal range but I just want to make sure I am not stretching my pouch too much. 

Thanks

Totally normal, your swelling has gone done:) Just keep measuring your portions :)

Totally normal as the swelling from surgery decreases.  Measure your portions - just because you can eat more doesn't mean you should!  Stick to your plan and your sleeve will be fine.

Agree with other posters.  As long as you aren't eating more than your surgeon's office has outlined for you, you should be fine.  Good luck!
