Hi all i am laying here in the hospital first day after operation. They had me out of bed today , had a shower and got to put my own clothes on. Have been drinking fluids and couple spoons of yoghurt, custard and Soup throughout the day. After lunch they removed the drip because I'm taking in enough fluids. The trick is to walk as much as you can every hour or so couple laps around the ward and keep sipping on your fluids that way they take you off the drip and you can go home earlier I've been told I can go home tomorrow arvo

Thanks Bec after reading a lot of post on this site i do feel blessed

Here is a picture of my 5 incisions one day after surgery for anyone interested

Thanks hardest part is the emotions you go through on the day good luck with your op be brave and think about the reasons your doing it and your loved ones who will have a healthier you for longer
