Thank you so much. Tomorrow - I shall be good and rest!

Update - Yesterday was 1 week since the op and I had energy! I went to the shop. It was amazing to start feeling myself once more. Today I am tired again but at least I know that things are getting better! I'm so much happier now than I was a couple of days ago!

Julia56, I think I am starting to feel better about having had the operation. Did you rush any other food choices? I seem to be desperate for cheese at the moment. I got a bit of my friend's sliced cheese about the size on a finger nail and let it dissolve in my mouth. that was an hour and a...

Thanks Julia. I shall try.

Laaux, Thanks. It's nice to know that other people had these hassles too. I still feel emotional but no crying so far today - although my friend was going to watch Thelma and Louise tonight and I vetoed it.It's still hard to get down all the water i am supposed to but it is getting easier. You...

Hi Barne, I'm sorry I don't know how to link to the post I put elsewhere so I am pasting it here. Apologies for the repetition folks. Please be aware that these are my thoughts right now and I am aware that when I feel better and see progress, my thoughts may change. I'd never had an operation...

That's interesting. Less tired will be very welcome. I haven't noticed my head being fuzzy but I wonder if I will notice it get clearer.

I live in Spain. Yes, the diabetes was the reason. I'm off the metformin now. What differences have you felt since coming off it? I didn't realise there would be changes with dropping that - I'm happy to hear you say they are good ones! Yes I have lots of friends round me giving me support...

TiaLi oh god thank you so much for telling me that. I thought I was the only one who was regretting it. I don't think I would do this again. I am aware this may change in the future but 5 days post op is still.... bad. I also didn't know this weepiness was a side effect of the anaesthesia.

Two months is a long time for you to be having those difficulties. I keep having to tell myself it's not even 6 days yet and I need to be patient. I really really just want to be back to being ME.

Thanks - I am having problems getting everything in, I only had 7 of the 8 little drinks yesterday and I think today is heading the same although I am more awake today so I may stay up later and get the last one in.

Ok, been to the chemists. Burst into tears while I was there. Poor woman was worried about the pain I was in and I had to say no, the pain is very slight. I'm just stressed and hassled and can't cope. Anyway, I got the kids ibuprofen and am going to have one of the protein drinks and then take some.

I had a sleeve operation. I didn't know ibuprofen came in liquid. I shall investigate that. Thanks so much!

I've ordered a pill crusher. At the moment i am crushing between two spoons. I shall try milk - thanks. I'm not allowed anything solid for the next month. Does marmite count? Can I have marmite just a few days after the op?

Hi, How do people take tablets? I've been told I have to have them crushed until I get to the stage of solid food. At the hospital I only had to take tiny ones and they gave me them with apple juice. But now that I am home i have to take extra pills and they are huge. I tried them in an actimel...

Thanks! Much appreciated! I see you have had wonderful results! That's good to see.

Please be aware that these are my thoughts right now and I am aware that when I feel better and see progress, my thoughts may change. I'd never had an operation before and it was stressful. I wish I had had more information. Tuesday - checked in at 9. Put in gown, and wheeled down to waiting...

Well. It's done. I'm home. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the whole thing. I shall update when I sort myself out. All your well wishes are incredibly welcome. Thank you!

The surgeon says she would prefer to do a bypass but it depends how far they can move my liver out of the way to work and if it's too large it will be a sleeve instead. They won't decide until they are in.

That's great advice! I shall be very careful! Thanks
