    Doodle41 got a reaction from I Am Enough! in Unhappy   
    I was exactly the same for the first month or so, it’s a huge adjustment to your body and mind. Honestly it will get better. I’m now 5 months out, 6 stone down and feel so much better. I can drink more now, eat a little more, my iron levels have gone up and I now have more energy. It’s so nice to be able to shop in normal shops and not be the fattest person in the room. Get your iron and b12 levels checked and make sure you are taking all of your vitamins properly and you will start to feel better xx

    It’s hard isn’t it but I am getting used to it. The thing I miss the most is fizzy drinks. I really thought I would miss cakes and chocolate etc but no it’s an ice cold fizzy drink on a warm day.

    Hi. No I wasn’t allowed any visitors at all. My husband just had to drop me off and pick me up outside the main door. To be honest I would have been too out of it the first day for visitors and the next day I was concentrating on waking and sipping and then went home that evening so it wasn’t the end of the world. The staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more supportive as well xx

    Thanks guys
    Was in a bit of pain over night and felt sick, but this is much better now. All my drips are off and I am doing 2 laps of the corridors at a time. Only issue I’m having now is reflux!

    Hoping to go home this evening

    Hi

    i had my surgery at about 11:45 and was back in the ward at 3. Have had to sit up all afternoon to help with the wind. I’m hoping to get in to bed in a bit just for a change of scenery! The pain it bearable but uncomfortable and I have dry heaved a few times but finger crossed no sick yet.

    I managed a glass of water so far but I am on a drip and and antibiotics so not pushing it. I have been on 3 walks up and down that corridor and am managing to pee ok.

    keeping fingers crossed for an ok night

    Thanks guys for the advice. It’s slowed down a lot today so I think it was just my bodies way of getting rid of gas and and anything left in my bowel. That’s for reassuring me though x

    Well it’s the day of my surgery today. I’m in my gown ready to go down to the operating theatre. A bit nervous and excited at the same time. Eek ?
