6 weeks since start of pre-op, this is the result so far!
Dr teel and his staff are great. I was in and out of surgery within 45 mins. I only had 4 incersions and I was up within an hour of getting to my room,walk walk walk, only way to get the gas out of you really. I needed only 1 or 2 pain meds and I was back at work 3 days later. I know everyone is different but I fou d it really quite easy,not what I was expecting. Dr teel is one of those doctors who is straight to the point with zero bullshit, that's the kind of doctor I like. I really really do highly recommend Dr Teel,I was done and home over night,I was only on Clear liquids for 3 hours then went straight on to full as I was doing well, you will be in super safe quality hands with him. He's so good my girl is having it done by him on Aug 11

Post op & eating in public!
Im 4 weeks post op and i can eat anything apart from anything breaded or battered which doesnt bother me. Ate out at Red Lobster at the weekend and even though it says for under 12`s only they let me order off the kids menu, tried garlic shrimp and it went down a treat and a small cup of lobster bisque, was awesome. last night i had a small salad with chicken, it had raw peppers, onion, lettuce and spinach... it was a delight. Needless to say eating out is not an issue luckily

Ice Chips, Ok or No No?
Me to, i used to be the type of person that didnt have ice in any drink as i never liked it, now almost 3 weeks out i put my powerade in the freezer to ice up before i drink it, really strange. And yeah ice chips are fine, thats what i was given as soon as i got into recovery from surgery

My most worthwhile advice would be to walk, I was up and about after an hour of getting to my room, its the only relief from the gas pain I found. I was only in overnight but the staff was excellent and very helpful. I'm pretty sure walking every hour or so in the hospital helped the recovery be as easy as it has been. Thanks everyone for your kind words

Gas X strips are great but the best thing i found that got rid of my gas in 2 days was peppermint tea, my mother recommended it to me and it worked really well

Day Ten
I was 11 days out, had a boneless chicken thigh with fat free gravy last night, I had to try as liquid fiid is getting me down. I had no issues with the chicken at all so I had another today for lunch. Tonight I'm trying lemon pepper baked cod, I'm 12 days right now
