I am just over 10 weeks out and I have noticed lately that I can drink more water than usual. Instead of sipping, I can take a healthy drink (not glup) of water. I also noticed that I can take a little bit bigger bite of food than I used to. I am not stretching it, am I?

No, you're not doing anything wrong.  Although most of the swelling goes down pretty quickly, it takes time for it to totally disappear.  And your sleeve will grow a little, although nowhere near what it was pre-op.  You'll notice slight increases over the first year to 18 months, then it seems to stabilize.

Same here with me. The same thing. Even my surgeon and dietitian told me this on what you have said when I asked them.

Thanks for asking this question, I was wondering the same thing.  I'm noticing that almost 6 weeks post-op I can drink more and I don't have to sip as small as I usually do.
