Ok, as i lose weight i am really starting to see the excess skin develop. I am wondering what exercises, if any, fellow sleevers have found to combat this problem. Stomach, arms, etc are the main points of interest but as always, ANY information is ALWAYS welcome. Thanks in advance!

Ok, quick question for my fellow sleevers. Taking nutritional value out of the equation, shouldnt a gastric sleeve patient, when completely healed, be able to eat the same foods as before just less of it? I hear some people talk about food getting "hung". I think a lot of these people had the lapband. If i view our surgery correctly, everything works the same, just a smaller stomach. I know we all change our eating habits to get the most out of our surgery but i just wanted to know if i was correct in my thinking. Thanks again all!

I should start the puree phase next week. Thank goodness cause a fella can only handle so much broth!! I know there are recipe areas in this site but i was wondering if people could post what they have found to be the best way to survive the puree phase. Recipes, tricks, secrets, etc. ANY information will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Yes, still on clear liquids. No other fixes while sleeving such as hernia, etc. Actually i am feeling MUCH better today. Don't ask me what happened, heck, yall will probably be able to tell me . Last night i had that "pain" feeling as i described. Sat in the bed and started sucking on sugar free peppermints (i am buying stock in that company). Went to sleep and when awoke this morning, pardon my bluntness, had ALOT of success in the restroom ☺☺. I have felt 100% better today than i have since surgery. If anyone can explain what happened, please let me know. Glad we are all grown in here, some of these chats can get kind personal, lol. Thanks to ALL who responded so quick the first time, HUGE help!

I tried to post this yesterday but obviously i screwed it up....lol. I was just recently sleeved, 03/05/2013. My stomach area "hurts" from time to time. A lot of the foods, juices, proteins, etc. seem to just "sit" on my stomach and are therefore not very appealing. I am curious if anyone can tell me what this "pain" is since i have no idea yet, what sensation means what. I think i may be hungry, maybe full, any ideas? Thanks in advance for ANY input! By the way, sugar free peppermint is worth its weight in gold!
