Hey guys I'm now one week post op and had felt like I'd been doing ok until last night. My fluid intake was good but yesterday and last I had a little more fluid and felt really nauseous.... I thought is this going to be my first vomit- it terrified me! But I sat up in bed for hours til it passed. Today I didn't have anywhere near enough fluid and I've the same thing Feeling teary and not sure what to do I'm exhausted, can't get comfortable in bed. Being a total whinger I know sorry.

Thanks will give it a go

Surgery is done! I ended up having a hernia repair too, I'm feeling pretty tender but much better than this afternoon. Thank you all for your kind words And best wishes it really does help xx

Ahh so my big day has finally arrived. I've been awake since 2am, the nerves have definitely kicked in.

Woohoo!!! So excited for you

So proud of myself today. Took my son to a soccer carnival, everyone was eating toasted sangas, hot chips, burgers etc but I sat there munching on my celery and carrot sticks. At the end of the day we went to Maccas - my willpower held strong and I got nothing. I munched on an opti bar on the drive home. I know it may not seem like much but I felt like -I got this!

So here I am another step closer to a healthier me... Start opti today. It may sound silly to some but I'm kinda excited. I kept thinking last week I would want to rush out and eat everything in sight as my 'last meal' but I was kinda boring and had fish and veges. Now I will be counting down the next four weeks to my surgery date... Happy days

I start my preop diet August 1st too... Surgery is August 28th

Good luck today Helen!!!
