Hi there, i had my surgery 6monts ago but i feel like since last month i can eat 3-5 more spoons of food than i could previously and it does worry me because once or twice per month i do eat a little more even when i'm feeling full. Can my stomach stretch so soon ? Could it strech overtime because once or twice a month i do "big meals" meaning i do force myself and eat more than usual? I don't eat till i throw up but i feel a slight pain and a sensation that my stomach is stretch to it's maximum
