    Day 3 post op

    I slept really well last night could even sleep on my side, I got up this morning and felt really weak thought I was going to faint so I decided to have some ready break very wishy washy mind you and real sugar seems to have done the trick I think its time to start the protine shakes as I need some energy. Amazing I have lost 9lbs in the last 5 days thinking that might be a bit too quick as I do not have that much to loose about 56lbs in total. But feeling good about it, by the way I have no pain today as that was a bit of a problem one sleever recommended liquid calpol which tastes nice but haven't really needed it. I'm not sure how much moving around I should be doing but just keep pottering round the house not sure if I'm over doing it.
  3. Day 3 pre op feelt really week this morning I know it's because I haven't eaten much but do feel better on the way to recovery

    2days post op at home now

    well I slept better last night but keep getting up for the loo. Still had no pain meds as they are fizzy and taste like shit and make me gag so I haven't bothered just feels like a pulled muscle. I had some slimfast for my breakfast and might try some tom soup later. Got on the scales and lost 7lbs amazing so loving it so far. Just gonna take it easy today and chill out but nice to be home.

    Day after my op

    Well did n't get much sleep they put these pad things on my legs that pump air in and out to keep the circulation going so I don't get a clot but it was really difficult to sleep, but was up and about walking abit like an old granny had some jelly and broth, the hotter liquids seem to go down easier than cold fluids. When my surgeon came to see me I was actually up and about and said I looked fine and how I felt and I said a bit rough after the anesthetic but ok apart from that so he said do you want to go home I said yes that would be great so I left the hospital about 26hrs after my surgery. I do hate hospitals and couldn't wait to get out. So got to sleep in my own bed and hot milk with a soup spoon it was ok.

    Had my op now and in my room

    Hi everyone had my surgery at 1500hrs today, I was quite sick after the anesthetis so it was a bit rough, but slept it off. I had no pain meds just feels like I had pulled a muscle in my tummy not sure if that was from wretching . Been to the loo on my own so 1st step achieved, but no one told me about the green pee !!!!!!!!!!!!! my surgeon told me that when he has stapled the stomach he glues it then sews over it then puts blue dye into my stomach to see if there are any leaks. Guess thats why he doesn't get any leakage from his patients.
  12. Well I'm in hospital now just had a chat with my surgeon Mr Ammori and just had an injection into my stomach they said it was a blood thinner and would have to have them for 2 weeks and inject myself OMG never did anything like that before hoping to go into surgery soon

    REGRET

    Great question my surgery is in 2 days...............yikes but I never doubted that this is what I wanted it sounds sill but when I was in Dubai about 3 years ago I bought a beautiful dress and just couldn't quite do the zip up and thought if I loose a bit I will get into it..............yeah right..........so every time I look at the dress I think of the insentive of getting into it so taking it with me to hospital and will hang it up where I can see it and it will remindme why I did the surgery and before I know I will be wearing it thats how I will keep my spirits up I know it sounds silly but thats me. There are some very nice supportive people here and thanks for anyone who contacted me please add me as a friend if you want I will be keeping my blog updated the hospital has wifi good luck everyone.
