I'm really good thanks @Carby2barbie It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since my surgery and my first day on soft food. I just hope it goes as well as the first 2 stages! I have now lost a total of 3st 1lb since I started the pre-op diet (1st 9lb of which is since my surgery) so very happy xxx
If he tried to put me over his shoulder, the weight of me would have broke his back! Lol
It maybe different at your hospital about taking tablets but at Derby it's not a problem:) Yes my water bottle it my best friend st the moment we are joined at the hip. Xx
Hi everyone, I had my sleeve done on the 6th March everything's been going ok, but yesterday was my first day on the puréed food but I am finding it really difficult to fit in plenty of liquids. I have been told to have 4-6 small amounts of purée throughout the day but not to drink for 30 mins...
Hi @Cupcake12333 i couldn't have forceval because they contain iodine which I am allergic to, so I'm on a tiny little tablet called Ketovite 1 tablet 3 times a day, it's really easy to take because it's so small!
When I came back from Cuba and started my pre op diet I was 20st 13lb, day of surgery I was 19.7st last time I weighed myself was 3 days ago and I was 18.5st so really pleased :) The skyr 100g is 11g protein and 4g sugar so not too bad!
It was absolutely delicious food tasted so yummy lol
I used 3 bits of Asda frozen mash, 2 desert spoons of baked beans and a sprinkle of mature cheddar then all blended together. Managed most of it but stopped when I felt full and I'm still not hungry now so for tea I think I will have soup and...
I've been on my normal tablets since the day after my op but can't manage too much fluid with them. I was uncomfortable swallowing fluids for the first 2 days but been fine since, just remember little but often. I felt I was constantly sipping some sit of fluid but it took me about 1 week to get...
Hi @Carby2barbie really pleased that you're doing so well :) I'm feeling much better this week just tired, I found protein shakes to heavy for me so advised by the dietitian to have milk and soups supplemented with marvel milk powder, which wasn't so heavy! Today is my fist day of puréed food...
Glad to hear you're doing so well, it's so weird how protocol differs from place to place, I'm on the injections for 2 weeks after coming home and the stockings as well, but told don't overdo the walking for the first few weeks (wouldn't have the energy any way lol) xxx
Post op is going ok, I'm managing to get my fluids in ok now, today is my first day of puréed food so sat here clock watching because I had a drink to take all my morning medication and your not allowed to drink for 30 mins before and after food! You will find this site a fantastic source of...
Hi Suffolk Joy, I have not been on here for a few days as I ended up getting an infection in one of my wounds so was feeling quite crappy for a few days! I'm feeling much better this week apart from having no energy, today is my first day of puréed food so will
Let you know how it goes. Xx
Hi I had my sleeve done at Derby 11 days ago, I was about 7 months from going on the list to getting operation date. But I think more operations are being done now so hopefully you won't wait as long :)
Glad to hear you're feeling ok, I was given infacol by the hospital for the wind pain, sometimes my hubby rubbed my back (it was like winding a huge baby ) but it definitely helped! Xxx
Bless you xx I'm still on fluids for 10 more days then purée, dreading how I will feel! I think it's normal to have good and bad days! Keep your chin up, we will get there :)
I'm feeling ok thanks, not much energy but more comfortable:) I have started my vitamins now so hopefully they may help. I am managing about 750ml-1ltr so that's good, I feel I am constantly sipping fluids!
Hi @Hopeful_Meg not sure if your hospital will do this, but at Derby they give you infacol (the stuff babies have) 5ml three times a day starting day after surgery it's fantastic for the wind pain xx
Hi everyone, surgery went well, I ended up with the sleeve. I had a few problems with acid reflux and high temperature but they changed my medication etc and I finally came home last night. Feeling loads better today :) but surprised at how tired I have been! Thanks for everyone's support xx :)
