Massive Regrets Frustration - you’re my only hope

[ShelleyBelley 8]

@Possum220 Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. You’ve kept me sane in times where I thought I would lose it! Thank you for this I really do appreciate you. 🥰

Apparently, fluids should be free flowing and no problem whatsoever but I definitely know something isn’t right as I can take only 5 medium sip swallows at a time before it stops ‘flowing’. It feels like I need to burp but there’s no air to burp. If I do try to burp all the Fluid comes back up. Obviously, food is worse so I think the gastro investigation will show something. Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen! Hopefully, next Wednesday I’ll know and fingers crossed there’s a fix.

im living off flattened lucozade and sloppy Pasta which is not good. I did manage some pistachios chopped and chewed within an inch of their life the other day though! I tried a banana afterwards and it just would not go down. A banana! 😞😞 I’d have thought the pistachios more problematic than a banana but nope! 🤣🤣

I will update you as soon as I know anything from the camera next week.

thank you so much again for your support. I can’t express how much you’ve kept me going.

love

@ShelleyBelley Hang in there hun.

Yes, I would have thought that a smooshed up banana would have been fine too. When the surgeon gets to see what is happening it all may make sense then. Yoghurt is something that I struggle with after my RNY. Other kinds of food should be more problematic but no. Maybe three baby sips of Fluid and stop after that will allow things to go down.

You eat what you can even if it is pistachios Sucking on an icy pole (freezie) or ice lolly what we in australia call an icy pole (lemonade) is my favourite. Hope I didnt just mangle the language but I hope you know what I mean. You can also get Hydralyte Ice Blocks from a chemist and suck on those.

Vegies in a slow cooker for 6 hours onion, celery, carrots, sweet potato, tin of kidney Beans and tin of tomatoes and a litre of vegie stock is tasty. You would need to blend it up. Then again if a banana doesnt go down........ Mind you I portion it up and put it in the freezer so that it is ready to go when I need it.

I hope that the coronation and all that went on in the UK was a distraction of sorts for you. Are your children of the age where they can look after you a little bit?

It is Wedesday here now. Hours away from your procedure ??? Looking forward to further recovery for you. You got this... xx
