Surgery 10th feb. Just had my 1st pureed stage food. Had some ready brek. Didnt think I would ever feel full and was worrying that it would'nt work for me but I am over the moon that after a few spoons I actually felt full lol. Feeling full, satisfied and very happy. Mandi xx

Omg...sleeved on 10th feb. Been ok. Coping with the full fluids but had no bowel movements since before surgery. Woke up feeling sluggish and not good at all so hubby went to pharmacy and got me a wonderful liquid called Lactulose and FINALLY HOUSTON WE HAVE MOVEMENT!! but boy did it hurt. Sorry for tmi but am happy and needed to share lol. Mandi xx

Huge difference. You look great. Well done x Mandi xx

Thank you sleevinpops. Glad its not just me being a b**ch!! I have just had a bit of soup too. Very watered down weightwatchers soup. Hope your daughter feels better soon. Your right...we can do this!! Mandi xx

Day 8 post op. Am doing well but today I have been snapping at everyone. Not hungry but want to taste food and devour everything. Hubby is making egg fried rice with prawns and some lovely fish on side for him and my son and I feel so angry that I cant have it. I am having a lovely glass of milk which I love but today I just want food in my mouth. My daughter is out to dinner and when I asked her where she is going she said she is actually scared to tell me lol. Hopefully tomorrow I wake up in better mood Mandi xx

Hi. I am day 7 post op and the full liquid diet has not been hard for me. I am trying to listen to what my body is telling me but to tell you the truth I have no idea anymore lol. All feel rumblings but not sure if hunger or just tummy settling down after such trauma. Dont think its hunger as pre sleeve me would eat anything and everything but so far only been having fluids and doing fine. Have been cooking meals for family as usual and not even tempted so that is a plus. Even made cookies with my son last night and he ate them in front of me and although the smell was lovely, i wasnt even tempted. Maybe because of not hungry or fear of doing harm to tummy as its still healing. If that helps x Mandi xx

I did. I hate needles but the nurse showed me how to do it and let me do it whilst she watched and its not as bad as i thought it was going to be. Had 5 days worth and have last shot tomorrow. You can do it x Mandi xx

Surgery happened on friday jennyu. Was so glad. Am now day 6 post op. The pain was as to be expected but the meds helped that. Stayed 2 nights in hopsital in end due to raised white blood cell count and blood pressure went through roof. Am doing ok. Only really feels sore on couple of incisions when stand or sit. So glad i did it. Am really positive about the future now x

Had phone call from hopsital, so far its going ahead but tomorrow it could still be cancelled but i can turn up and hope for the best. Am getting emotionally exhausted. Just want it over and done with so i can start living. Fingers crossed its not cancelled. Mandi xx

New date is for this friday. Eeek so nervous now. Chance it could be cancelled again but if i dont hear from them by 5pm tomorrow then its going ahead. Hope my liver has shrunk enough. Mandi xx

Thank you all for the support. Was down today as thinking it would be done by now but out of my hands and now just a waiting game again and having fingers crossed everytime phone rings. Will resume my liquid diet tomorrow and wake up in more positive mood after all a better healthier life is just around the corner and it starts now. Xx Mandi xx

Hi gryffen. back lol. Yeah thats what I have decided to do. Am looking forward to some homecooked chicken breast tomorrow and then back on diet. Am quite enjoying the soups. Have amazed myself and my family how well I did. Now just cant wait for it to be done. I really did cry when i got off phone to hospital though. My husband and kids were amazingly supportive. They understood how much it means and how long it has taken to get this far. Oh well a few more days or week hopefully and my liver will have surely shrunk. Xxxxx Mandi xx
