hi there, i had surgery three weeks ago tomorrow, and feel i have loads of unanswered questions. so here i go;
1. does the no drink with food rule apply to gastric bypass patients?, as i sometimes find im having to have a sip with food now and again.
2. how soon can i go swimming??, even just to go paddling in the pool so i feel as if i am getting out and about. i wouldnt be doing anything hardcore as i know im still healing on the inside just to relax in the pool would be enough for me.
3. is anyone else having problems with the amount of tablets they are having to take, im currently on 8 tablets a day, as i have had to start my iron early due to me having iron defiancy. even though i am splitting my tablets over the day i dred taking my a-z vitamin tablets as it is so large, could anyone recomend a smaller tablet that is available to buy.
4. i have one more week on the puree diet and im feeling very anxious about starting stage one foods, i should be excited as im sick of puree food at the moment, alls i can think is how excited i will be to finally have cottage pie or something similar, did anyone feel the same and if so what can you recomend, i scared that i wont be able to swallow the food with the nerves of something bad happening.
5. i go on holiday at the end of september am i tempting fate in buying size 14?? im currently in a 18-20 trouser, i have managed to drop to a 16-18 top. do you think i should leave it til closer to the holiday date.
6. and if anyone can recomend a good wls cook book, preferbly a british one please x
i have so many questions that as soon as i started typing them i have forgotten most of what i wanted to ask so i will prob be back later with more, any or all the answers would be great many thanks barbara xx
