Hey sweetie I felt exactly the same way and now 6 weeks out I would do it all again in a heart beat! I'm down 35lb and I feel so much better. Today in London we have had temp of 35 degrees and normally I would have melted in the heat but today I was fine! Stay strong and remember why you are doing this. You have an amazing an exciting future ahead of you and in a few weeks you will be so glad that you have chosen to take control of your life for you! Sending blessings and well wishes your way! Let us know how you are after x x x

I was aloud any liquid for the first two weeks as long as there were no bits so I simply strained any soup that did have bits. This made it far more interesting! I also got sick of the sweet stuff. We have cheese here called baby bell and it dissolves in your mouth so this became my favourite snack. Lol Good luck and keep at it I'm now 6 weeks out and I can eat anything just in tiny amounts and the time had flown by, it will for you too! X x x

You really will feel so much better as each day passes and as they say walk, sip, rest, repeat! I am 6 weeks out now and those first few days are just a distant memory. I feel amazing and apart from the very small amounts of food I eat I feel totally normal - only much lighter! Go easy on yourself but try try try to get some Water in and also try sf jelly as it was a god send for me. I know it sounds crazy when you find it hard to drink water but for me it was so much kinder to my new tiny tummy and I was able to get about a pint in each day that way! Sending you healing wishes and welcome to the loosers bench! X x

Wow you already look so much smaller! Keep up the fab work!!!!!! 

Oh wow thank you everyone. X Wishes he really is the best little nephew there is! X x.x

I hate it when People say stuff like that, I mean how dear they! Bigger people don't say ' your so pretty shame you look like you need a bloody good dinner' ! People are beautiful just they way they are, being over weight does not make you ugly! Ahhhh rant over. Lol I think you are doing brilliantly with the weight loss, 10lb a month is fab! Keep working your sleeve! X  x

Hey everyone, So today was my 5 week post op check up and I am Feeling pretty darn good! I can now eat anything I like as long as I take my time and chew chew chew! I have lost 26lb and I am so pleased. I have also lost 6 inches from my waist and 7 from my hips! My mum is also doing great and has been cleaning out her walldrobe an passing stuff on to me. I get a new bundle every two weeks which is fab! My biggest NSV so far has been my 5 year old nephew telling me ' Faye Faye you are getting skinny' man I love that boy! Life is good I love my sleeve! Hope you are all doing good too! Mwah x x x

Sorry to hear you are having such a bad time! I needed extra stiches so I felt the same everything in there felt so tight, my Dr explained that when you lay down the stomach swells so you have to be up and walking. I walked every hour for the first week and I can tell you it really helped. Also thin liquids hurt but things like sf jelly did not so give that a try too. Wishing you a speedy recovery you will love your sleeve soon I promis. I'm now day 28 and have lost 26 lb! So keep that faith and look after you! X x

PCOS really sucks! anyway thank you again I hope you are all doing well! x x x x x x x x

Hey tiffy thank you so much for sharing this with us all! You really do look amazing and as for how you feel about all of this no one can tell you that is wrong. I decided to have the sleeve because I so desperatly want to be a mum I have pcos and am hoping the weight loss will help me to achieve my dreams of being a mummy! Please keep us posted and I wish you a continued healthy and happy pregnancy! X

Hi eddie I was sleeves on the same day as you and in the first few day the thing I found easiest to get in was sugar free jelly! Sound crazy when Water is a problem but believe me it went down an stayed down. Give it a try. I hope you are feeling better soon! Keep us posted! X x x

I had 5 days off work and was fine to go back. I have not had any drop in energy levels at all. But everyone is different so just listen to your body! X

Wow what an amazing story! You are amazing! I am a new member if the sleeve gang just 18 days today and your story made me cry. I'm not a mummy yet and this is my motivation for doing this but I do have an adorable nephew and I can not wait to be able to ride all the rides at the fair with him! You look amazing keep rocking that sleeve! X

Scrambled egg and baked beans with low fat cheese grated on the top is my most favourite meal. I'm 17 days post op and I am finding it really easy to eat plus it has lots of good protine! Yummy. 

Wow that's amazing! Well done you! I'm out shopping today as all my leggings are too big and keep falling down! Lol I have had to get new ones in a size uk 18! I'm so chuffed!! X x x x

Hello all you may sleevers! Today I have my first weigh in with the doctors and I am both excited and nurvous! I feel like I have lost weigh but what if the scales say that I haven't????? Just wanted to know if anyone else has been weighed yet and see how it went for you? I love my sleeve! 

Hi skinntgirlwannabe Try to stay calm! It will be ok and in about three days time you will know that this is the best thing you have ever done! I am 12 out now and I feel soooooooo much better already. I'm not gonna lie there were some tough times but my tough times only ever lasted for about and hour and then I was fine! I would recommend that you take a hot Water bottle with you if you can as I had bad gas pains and it really helped. And remember sip sip sip walk walk walk! Don't worry about protene or anything else but water and walking for the first week or so! Good luck, love and blessings to you and we will see you on the losers bench x x x

Hey coops Thank you so much for that I went back to work on day 5! My head really is such a cow I didnt want to miss too much time from school! I have now told people I'm doing a liquid diet and that seems to have shut them up. I am very lucky to have some very good friends who I have told and after my distaster day yesterday they are acting like a protective blanket around me! They understand why I have chosen this option and are so supportive I am very luck to have them! And yes I will have the last laugh! Lol Hope you are well and keep enjoying that Greek yogurt! 

I have ad two days in that time that have been a bit rough but over all I'm good and I have lost 14lb already! Good luck with your journey and keep blogging! 

Lol! Thank you all soooooo much this forum really is like having a sleeve family where everyone knows just how I feel!  Today I am feeling so much better I went home and slept for 3 hours!!! And then had some yummy home made chicken Soup ( always comforter ) I have an appointment with my surgeon on Friday so I will have him look at my poor incisions then. I also spoke to the head teacher today and asked her to be more considerate with her parking ( she knows I had surgery just not what for) she still looked at me like I was a fat cow but did apologise! Skinny bitch!!!! Next time she'll get the key! Lol I'm sticking with soup again for a few days but that's cool as I like soup. Thank you all again for being so lovely! Mwah 

So today is day 11 post op for me and until lunch te things were going fine! I get so nurvous about eating around people that don't know that I ate way too fast and ended up being sick. It was so painful and now my new stomach feels so sore. Then I got to car park to find my head teacher had parked so close to me that I had to shimmy over from the passenger side and I pulled the incisions and now everytime I move they hurt like crazy! I'm sure the stupid head teacher does this on purpose as she is a tiny size uk 4 and looks down her nose at me all the time!!!! Ahhhhhhh I hurt and I wanna cry! Bad bad bad day !!!!

It a great place to be! Welcome welcome! X x x

I had really irchie incision too and it was a reaction to the dressing I went back on day 5 and they just took them all off! I still have a few blisters from the glue but they stoped itching almost as soon as I took them off! I have also been taking baths since day 4 and mine are all healing lovely I'm now day 9! Hope you get some relief soon! X x x

Hi all I can't believe it has been a whole week already! I am still doing good and am feeling really positive about the future and what I may end up looking like!

It would be so good to hear from all you may sleevers and also ladyvelvet and your sister who are also 1 week today! Sending live and skinny vibes to all! Xxxxxxx
