Well, I got my dates yesterday and my op is scheduled for the 28th, two weeks.

I am seeing the dieticien next week and my consultant next Friday and that's it. I'm starting to get a bit worried that it won't work, I won't cope, am I making the right decision blah blah blah but you know what I mean.

I was given a pre op to do about 4 weeks ago. I stuck to it pretty much but have had a couple of blow outs, the last being yesterday evening. I had two bottles of wine, beef wellington and later when the carb muchies hit, prawn cocktail sandwiches. I mean WTF is wrong with me?

So will be back on it tomorrow, its not to late is it? I will be back on the milk only and yogerts for the next two weeks. I have my mother in laws funeral on Monday and will be away for three days, I hope to goodness I will be able to stick to the pre diet.

Did you all have pre op jitters, did or do you worry that it still won't work and how you will cope?

Glad to hear your doing better. The wind is a nightmare, I used to get my hubby to rub my back too. I also ended up getting the drs to give me a huge bottle of Gaviscon as I wasn't sure what was the best thing to take. Walking does help a decent bit with the wind even if you don't really feel like walking.
I can drink most things now but really glad that I am actually enjoying a cup of tea again because I missed my cuppa those first few days when it tasted disgusting lol.
If you like it try the broth off Knorr chicken noodle Soup, don't eat the noodles or the freeze dried chicken but the broth is lovely and makes a nice change.

OMG, sooo not looking forward to that part of the procedure!!!!! Wish you both better

Lucky not everyone gets troubled by wind as bad as others do so don't overly worry hun.

Well, not being rotten to you two, but thank goodness for that !!!!

Was restless last night, lots of wind coming up and feeling tired today,

I've not been sick at all, had a ice cold apple juice, which I really like around 7,00am went back to sleep and just had a shower and a coffee made with milk.

Overall I feel a lot better. I have the weirdest feeling though, like I'm fit to burst but empty at the same time, anyone else have that?

Yeah, I mean lets face it. I've had pain with wind but I've not:

Been sick

Had a temperature

Taking in liquids

Wounds look fine

Not on any pain killers now

Oh and I've gone every day since

So considering it was only Friday, I'm pretty happy.

I know the exact feeling you mean by full but empty............I think its the gas and knowing you haven't eaten so have nothing substantial in you

How are you doing now CBF?

Hi there

Doing well thanks, just taking it easy.

No hitches so far, after the first 5 days and the wind had gone everything has been great.

Thanks for asking

Glad to hear it, hows the weight loss going?

Don't know, made a conscious choice not to get hung up on it after the op. Numbers have controlled how I feel for so long, so decided not to pay any attention to them until I get checked out by the consultant on the 6th May

I will of course share after I've seen him..

How are you doing CBF? Hope the recovery is going well.

Yeah, really good. I've not had any problems, eating well. Incisions are fine, in fact no problems at all.

I haven't been sick once and not had a problem eating anything, chicken, eggs, beef mince, pork mince, veg etc.

Really pleased with everything.

I have hit a stall but I'm not bothered about it as its pretty normal.

So all in all, amazed at how easy it has been.

Multivits everyday too and going every day
