You could ask your dietician about sugar free mints. Alternatively a mouthwash?
Good luck either way.

Thanks Weegie and Lookingforabetterme.

My emotions are all over the place. One minute I'm euphoric and can't wAit for op tomorrow, next I want to cry and I'm looking at all that can go wrong. On the whole I know it's the right thing to do I'm just so nervous. Reading all the posts on here does help calm me down a bit.

Hi Gill,

Try keep calm. As I was walking down to theatre - my nurse asked how I was feeling and I said surprisingly calm. She said that was good because the calmer you are going into surgery the better when you wake up in recovery. When I was waking up i was shaking uncontrollably which they said was normal, but I kept thinking keep calm just keep calm this will soon stop. The recovery team said I was the best patient that day. Just remember that these are medical professionals and they know what they are doing. They will do everything they can to keep you safe. I wish you all the best for your op.

Xx
Lee

I had op yesterday. I'm still feeling sickly and sore I'm going to find out if I have to stay another night later. Any who thinks surgery is the quick and easy route is def wrong!

Morning Gill I am hoping you've woken in less discomfort. Day 2 post op. I am sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery. My op looms, take care xx

I was discharged today. I had to stay an extra day as my potassium levels were low so I had to to do 6 hours on a drip. The operation went well and I'm looking forward now to loosing weight. I just felt so weak after the op and didn't have any energy, but I now know that was probably due to my potassium levels. I don't feel hungry at all so I'm hoping that feeling lasts!!
