60 grams of protein and 2 litres of water. Forget calories

oh, and watch out for the UK catering teams, they dont care that you have had a sleeve and will offer you the wrong food. make sure post op that you have water and milk until your are ready to make valid choices for yourself.

Phew - had it Thursday, only a 12 hour wait on the ward (first in , last operated on ).

The NHS is clearly still overloaded in the UK, but still , it went well and a hernia was stitched Im told too , so thats good even if I am slower on the recovery now.

I was home the next day (another 12 hour wait for my bag of drugs, glad Im an avid reader).

I have strange pains in my left wrist which was a surprise - normally alleviated by raising my wrist or a heat pack. Fading today, so CO2 or canula related I guess.

I am still on water , coffee, and actimel drinks, will try puree on monday.

No hunger - instead a hard belly and only some grumbles in my head when my kids eat crisps beside me.

For people to go through it - dont be a fool like me and try and pull 27 stone up into the standing position without going slow and careful . And dont dwell on what happens when you wake up , its not long and its over fast.

Im a 51 year old, 183 kg male and have an op on the 29th. I do hope this helps me , as all I can see at the minute is a growing hate for milk and worries about how I will eat during the recovery phases. Also worried as my NHS trust in the UK is in the headlines for being overwhelmed..
