[steve paul smith 9]

Hi maddysgram thanks for the welcome, it's a good forum with lots of great support from great like minded people, you will see me around- I already have had some great conversations and advice.

Spooky you have a cousin called paul smith-

My ex wife remarried to a guy called paul smith and that was like spooky - at first I thought she was winding me up but no it's true -

All the best

Steve

Oh and yes the Olympics and paraolympics were outstanding and was a great time to live in London - a real inspiration - it helped me in the gym watching it on tv

Best to you!

I am a happy bandster

Congratulations!!! Take it easy, don't do too much. If it was laprascopic keep moving and watch for the gas pains. Hope you feel even better tomorrow

[steve paul smith 9]

Thanks Kyrrin, yes it was laparoscopic and I have been for a walk round the ward - bit dizzy but no bad pain - feeling better every hour, had clear Soup and sugar free jelly for dinner - took my time eating it and savouring the jelly taste.

I am so happy I made this decision to get my health back on track -

[Maddysgram 6,159]

Congratulations Steve!! Thoughts & prayers for a speedy recovery!

Good Luck Steve! I will be thinking about you here in Texas. My husband and I almost moved to the UK in December. We had a house picked out in Epsom Downs. It was not to be. Sounds like you are set with the pillow, remote etc. let us all know how you are doing.

Thanks for your support, I am day 8 now and last two days I have been to gym and done a cardio vascular workout - no pain or problems, the puréed diet is going ok - but have lost the feeling of being full - another month till my first fill - in the meantime I will keep my portions controlled and carry on at the gym - amazing how quick the body heals - so glad I did this !

I know someone who lived in Epsom and is now buried overlooking Epsom downs racecourse - god bless him

All the best from a wet and flooded uk

Glad you are doing so good. I haven't been brave enough to go to gym yet. But noticed today my xxl pants are falling down. I too am glad i did this! All the best from hot and sunny california--hoping it will rain soon!
