Drink Water, water, and Oh did I mention water!!! It helps put the elasticity back into your skin. BUT depending on how big you were when you started you might have the extra skin regardless(which is the case for me unfortunately). Good luck!!!!

I was doing soft foods and fish (tuna and tilapia) 2 weeks out.

Wow all of you are BIG LOSERS!!! I congratulate you!!!!!! Since surgery I've lost 30#'s. Pre and Post Op I've lost a total of 61#'s!!! Now for my question, how much are you eating at a sitting? 4 oz? 6 oz? 8 oz? Or are you eating till full? Today I feel like I've eaten a lot more than yesterday. I'm getting concerned, I don't want to stretch my sleeve out!

The liquid phase after the procedure, in my opinion, is the worst and hardest. I had mine done on 3/27, right before Easter. That Easter Sunday at my family's house was bad, I left the room. That's how I dealt with it. And as far as the food goes, I can't believe how little I'm eating. Thing is, I'm full. Just trust your Dr and NUT's plan.

I actually just had my first mushy food since the surgery. And it sucks!!!! I have this pain in my chest that comes and goes. But other than that everything is good! Lost almost 60lbs since I started my journey in January. So overall I'm happy! How are things going for you?

Same! I was on the 9th floor room 916. Lol

Yup I was just sleeved 3/27. Where was your procedure done?

My surgeon is from Springfield too! Who's your surgeon? Mine is Dr. Forrester.

Hey March Sleevers. As an FYI, some of us from another thread (Any march Sleevers?) made a Facebook page. It's private. For anyone who wants to join go to the thread and just put ur email up and someone will invite you.

Hey I found this article on slider foods and it helped me understand it better. http://5daypouchtest.com/articles/art002.html And as far as stalls, I think eventually everyone goes through one. I think the biggest thing is to try not to get too frustrated. The most common stall is the 3 week stall. I think it's because many people are transitioning to mushy or purée foods and the body needs to adjust(that's just my logic don't quote me on it).
