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 

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

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

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

Hi all, I DONE IT!!!!!!! I am 10 hours post op and feeling ok. I an on morphine and the wind has been pretty painful but I am able to sip small amounts already! I have also been able to walk about my room. I will post again tomorrow but just wanted to check in Night all you sleevers X x x 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
