Not sure. Do you have someone in your program you can speak to re. eating behaviours? Seems like it would be good to have someone nip it in the bud?
Good luck.

I don't know about stretching it but you could certainly do damage, possibly tear the staple line etc.
Are you measuring your food, and stopping when you get to the measured amount?
It takes time for your insides to heal. If you feel you are eating too much you need to start weighing and measuring all your portions to the guidelines you were given by your surgical team.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

Listen you aren't going to stretch that pouch but you can hurt yourself. If you are having problems at this early stage with eating too much you MUST speak to your team. This isn't a diet you can cheat on. This is a serious surgery that you can and will harm yourself if you don't follow the rules.

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
