Oh thx for reassurance. It'll be good to start a new phase in my recovery. I've now manage to cook a few things for my family & friends. Amazingly I don't feel at all hungry & am not even tempted to lick my fingers. Gonna make a batch of whole grain honey mustard this week to keep me from being bored to tears. Not doing any of my usual things at mo coz can't drive just yet.

Thx not been that good today with my liquids. Tried some sieved butternut squash soup but took me about an hour to sip bout 100 mls. Such terrible indigestion. I think it is wind because I can eventually clear it by burping after about 10 mins. Horrible feeling though especially as I had such a great start first week post op feel I've gone backwards.

It will get better! I am now 7 weeks post op and it's only been this week that I have got an appetite. I have actually felt like eating something. Up until now just not felt like eating. Had a slight hiccup where I developed a structure and couldn't keep anything down so had to have it stretched. Today I have eaten:
B: slice toast
L: half a small bowl of homemade butternut squash soup
T: chicken stir fry with my friend (mine was served on a side plate) and it was lovely really enjoyed it.
Well done. Don't worry things will get better :) xx

Feeling even worse today. 100 ml milk took 1 1/2 hours to drink, small amount of fruit tea. Horrible pains in middle of chest & burping a lot. Taken a walk around the little park nearby. Nothing shifting it. Just put in a call to my bariatric nurse for further advice. Day 10 post op. boo hoo!

They didn't call me back & I tried at around 4.30 again no response. I will try again in the morning. My mum bless her suggested I tried 10 ml of Gaviscon. I read up a bit on the Internet & sounds very like gastro oesophogus reflux, apparently common with weight loss surgery. The Gaviscon initial made it a little worse but after about 10 mins it felt much much better. Haven't managed my fluids intake any where near what it should be today but managed all my medications. Actually feeling quite a bit better now so tomorrow is another day. Thx for your post. I will let you & the guys know what happens from the team tomorrow. Nite nite x

Thx for advice. Take fast tab every morning about 1 hour before I attempt anything. Then take 1 in the evening around 6 at least 30 mins before attempt my evening 'meal'. They do not help. The 10 mls of Gaviscon did help last night & feeling a bit better today. Had 1/2 cup of fruit tea then around 150 ml water sipped throughout morning.
Just bought a cafe au lat slim fast & had about 1/3 of it over about 45 mins & although bumping lots no pain. Never had them before & thought I would hate them, surprising it's OK. Terrified of not getting enough good nutrition & protein. Maybe this will help. Disappointed that my bariatric team gave not responded to me over th last couple of days despite 3 left messages. Normally they are very good!?!

Feeling much better thx. Hospital confirmed its a common occurrence & I can take Gaviscon which really helped last night. They're happy from my food diary & meds that I'm doing everything correctly. Just might take me a little longer on stage 1. Have a great weekend guys.
