9 days post op

[jmumof4]

Hi everyone, I had my sleeve surgery done 26th march at charing cross hospital at 14.45pm by the amazing mr olbers and his increadable team. i am now 9 days post op and i have already lost 1st 4lb and i am still on the liquid only diet. I am finding it weired to be surviving on 2 slimfast and 1tin of soup and 2 munch bunch a day, but you know i am am happy i had it done. i think the thing i have had to get used to the most is the increadable uncomfortable pain trapped wind causes, and eating to quickly, i have been prescribede infacol for the wind, i used to give that to my babies for trapped wind, and now i know it works lol. just thought id check in and say hi xxxx <3

[jmumof4]

i am pureeing everything i swaer by aunt bessies frozen mash as it is potioned, 2 of them, aunt bessies swead and carrot mash as they are portioned, about 5 small bits, and i live off cod and parsley sauce only 110cal per serving, and mr brains faggots or mince, or alternatively whizz up weight watchers ready meals most of them are under 300cals per meal and they have everything in the you need. munch bunch is also something i live on, and the dreaded slimfast, which i am utterly sick off now!!!!
