I am quite familiar with st marys as I work with one of the other hospitals thats part of the trust. But I chose parkside because it was cheaper (I think.)

Ah next thursday? It will go well for you, its a great hospital. I think the only thing to think about is the gas pain and many people here have great tips to help remedy that. I have my pre assessment tests on that day, I hope it goes ok...

My surgery is halloween lol 31st. With this whole covid thing, I hope it doesnt get pushed back...

Yes I'm also concerned about covid cases possibly meaning my surgery is cancelled - my Consultant's PA has told me that the hospital is reviewing things on a daily basis 😟 Good luck with your surgery!

I'm having surgery just before you dal101 and also trying to sort the shakes for afterwards. My Dietitian recommends the Slimfast Protein (along with various other Protein shakes) and I have to say I was quite surprised when I bought it to see how much sugar/carbs are in it. I've got a variety of other shakes as well to try post-op so I suppose I'll just have to see what works!

I use 1 gm sugar 30 gram protein ensure or premier brand, won't touch slimefast.
