9/3/07

Anyway 3 days post op and feeling better every day and managing to stick to the liquid diet (kids had a curry last night and I felt very sorry for myself this morning - esp as they'd left the debris for me to clear away!). dunno if i'm supposed to feel the band or doesn't that kick in till the first 'fill'?

It's done! 8/3/07

Well I'm back and banded and everything went ok! Iwas so nervous - never been under the knife before, but everything was fine and the hospital were great. I could never have driven home though and I'm glad lulu was able to bring me back. The anasthetic has worn off now, I ache a bit and feel tender, but I'm functioning ok and can see that by the end of the weekend I shall hopefully be in control again. I already feel a difference, although I'm only on liquids - I don't feel the horrendous hunger

told the kids (sort of)

Well this morning I decided it was ridiculous not to tell the kids about the fact I'm having an op. As it gets closer there seems no benefit to keeping them in the dark - and also lulu coming home will help me enourmously. When I told Lulu this morning she was very tearful but as I assured her it was in my interest she seemed a lot more understanding. Jake was phillisophical about it all and Sophie Rose dosen't need to know. Jake, Soph and I went to town to get some supplies, had a nice relaxing

3/03/07

It's been a really rubbish week. My pre op diet despite all my good intentions has been non existent. I've searched out loads of good advice .. and what have I done with.. nothing! so now with just a few days to go before the op I'm wondering if the surgeon will take one look at me and boot me out. I still haven't told the kids or any of the family about this, close friends and work think its women's problems - so I feel guilty about that. Jake has dislocated his shoulder which means I need to b
