Welcome to the Other side! I was only sleeved a week ago and in that time I feel so totally different. Don't worry about the liquids they do get as lot easier. I find the mornings more difficult and I think it's just where my tummy swells during the night because after being up and active for about an hour it is so much easier to get stuff in! Good luck on your journey and keep us posted! X x x x

Woop woop congrats! X

I'm doing really good and am healing up nicely. For me there have only been two nasty things abouthaving this done; 1 the wind pain! Omg it hurt do bad I asked for morphine! Lol and 2 I had a reaction to the glue used in the dressings so I have a few small blisters on my tummy. I very grateful that I have had an easy ride and am looking forward to the new slimmer me! I wish you all lots of luck on this journey and look forward to sharing it with u all! X x x

I was only on clear fluids while in hospital and have been allowed full fluids for 3 days now! I'm hoping this feeling of being bloated passes soon. My typical day consists of 1 slimfast shake for Breakfast 250ml sugar free jelly 250 ml snack 200ml of soup such as Tom or chicken no bits 150 ml of milk semi skimmed 200ml soup Cup of olvaltine 400ml And about 1litre of Water through out the day! Doesn't look a lot when I write it down but with this sleeve it take me all day! I can now have smoothies so am going shipping for fruit today! X x x

Hey It's day 5 for me and so far my biggest problem has been constipation! The lack of fibre is really messing with my system! I am not back to work yet but am planning on going tomorrow as I feel ok. My energy levels are fine and today I plan to go shopping to make the liquid diet more interesting! My incisions are healing well they are not hurting but are a little itchy. All in all I feel great! Look forward to hearing how everyone else is getting on! Loves x x x Faye x x x

Hey all I am home! I came home this afternoon and am feeling really good! I am taking a long time to drink anything but the sip rest sip method is really working work me! I find that it is harder to drink right after a sleep so I get up and active to help reduce the swelling and then it is easier. It's so good to Hear everyone is doing well Keep in touch! Faye x x

I had a good nights sleep and have been walking the ward this morning. The doc says walking helps with the swelling and the wind and boy do I have wind! Lol I have some mint tea and that's helped but I def think walking is the way to go! Thank you for all my well wishes they really do mean so much to me! X x x Faye x x x

Hi all I'm about to be sleeved in 2 days time and I also have polycystic ovary syndrome. I have heard that after the sleeve pcso greatly improves and was wondering if this has been the case for anyone? My main reason for being sleeved is to help me become a mummy. I tried for nearly 3 years to get pregnant and in January of this year my dream was finally realised but I miscarried and the doc thinks this has all been due to my pcos. I am hoping that losing the pounds with help with my fatility. So if anyone has any info I would really live to hear your story! X x
