Op on Thursday

Have my op on Thursday. Bypass in Oxford at the Churchill with Bruno Sgromo. Packing a bag this evening as we will stay overnight in Oxford tomorrow. Anything I need that people wished they taken?

Also lost 5% instead of 10%. 100g carbs per day very hard.. Have others found it tricky?

Hi and good luck for Thursday.

Most of the stuff I took I ended up not needing xx

Good Luck!! x

Same here only used toiletries & phone charger the rest came back unpacked

Good luck!!

By now you might be done!! Wayhayyyyyy

Well, all went well with op, but sadly I am still here. I've got very horrible bloody stools, which is coming from the staple sites high up. They are hoping it will stop on its own. Just really want to go home. Grr!
I managed 3 pots of Fortimel yesterday.. Can't say I'm racing to have them again today. But managed 1.5 so far. Just another 1.5 to go. Will be glad to get home to have a more varied diet. How have people found slimfast? Wondering about its thickness??

Thanks, Sharon.. Any idea where I can get it from? tesco or holland and Barrett?

I am finding slim-fast to sweet. Hope you get over the bleed soon.

Thanks guys.. Nausea passing now I am home. I was given Fortimel in hospital that gave me servers dumping 3days after starting on it. That has been ditched and I am now liking Upbeat, with 20g protein in 250ml bottle. I'm getting my 60g a aday. Have tried tomato juice with Lea and Perrins today and weak custard. All good. I'm 7 days out and 2 stone down including pre op diet. Woohoo! Clothes are fitting again! I shall be ditching some soon!

Yeah glad to hear your home and congrats on the weight loss already!!

Looking forward to your updates xx

Wow so nice to hear your home.. I am just starting my journey and feel hearing all your journeys even when there are bumps in the roads but always coming out stronger really is given me confidence and getting me excited for my surgery..
Congrats on 2 stone down already and keep us updated on your progress as it is so powerful for us newbies xxx

Hi all,

11 days in and trying different liquids. Have sat and watched several meals and found it hard for what...15 mins? Then people get up from table bloated and I skip off.. That's how I'm dealing with the cravings! the assault on my smell at a BBQ was tough, but felt good afterwards. I'm also feeling so much better in the mornings and my ankles are no longer swollen. Starting to get into more clothes as well. All this keeps me going when those cravings come. Do cravings subside when the purée stage starts? X

Gosh, just has my liver biopsy results back.. It wasn't pretty reading and we had to translate some of the terms. I'm just hoping that I've had this op in time and that my liver will restore itself. I do feel so much better than pre op., and this can only be because of the state of my liver.. Aah!

Hope that all will be well with you and that your liver recovers quickly

Hi JEVF
Hi just sending good wishes, and hope you are feeling well after your op. Good weight loss already, gives hope to us Newbies on here.
