Billie's post op diary.

[Billie.x]

Hiya. Thought I should start a post op & leave the pre op days behind me.

So I had my surgery (band) on the 11th April. I'm on day 3 post op.
Had a rough few days everything went well at the hospital but I seriously underestimated the pain I would be in !!!
I've had very sore and swollen wound site. It's been so painful that I've needed help to even sit up !!
This morning at 3.30am I woke up and went to the toilet. I peed quite a lot of blood.
I did this again a few times so called my provider and they said see my doc.
I went and they tested my urine and she said that I had a high level of blood and infection. So she gave me antibiotics!
I'm starting them tomorrow.
Today I've managed to drink 1/2 a protein shake half a tin of chicken soup.
I may have something else soon.
I'm trying to keep fluids up. Sipping water and juice.

I weighed myself today and since pre op started on the 29 March I have lost 1 stone 5. So that's good.

Morning.
I've been up early today not sleep too well.
I'm a bit worried about this infection, I don't feel like I need the toilet at all. I just go and sort of make my self pee and there's loads of blood like a lot.
I've started my antibiotics this morning.
I just think it's so weird ?? I feel worn out today like I've been working out !!!
I do feel a bit more mobile but still wacked out.
My partner has gone back to work today so I'm on my own for the first time since the op lol.
He's back at 3 so not too bad.

I'm going to give it a few days and if this bleeding does not clear up maybe go back to the doctor ??

I'm such a worrier !!! X
