I've just had a bypass so can't be exact but after a little wind pain in hospital I'm now 5 days out and except for being careful how I turn and bend I keep wondering if I've dreamt the operation! Everyone is different I did take every pain killer offered in hospital and was out of bed as much as possible as soon as I could be, now I'm just relaxing (which is hard) good luck xI am having a Gastric Sleeve

That is a relief. What pain killers did the hosp have you on as I am allergic to morphine which is what my dad said they normally give.
I am hoping I heal up quick as I have 2 weeks booked off work.

We were offered morphine or tramadol and I'm sure the girl Opposite me had a problem with morohine so had an aletnative. You'll be fine the worry is worse than nye operation.

Every few months ... I am so impatient I know I will be weighing myself at least once a week. I think I will do my measurements every other week. I am going to pop and buy a tape measure this weekend before I start the pre op diet. And take lots of those ugly pre op pictures
. When's your op?

Oh that don't sound too bad (apart from the not liking lol) mine was due to be 4 pints of milk or 8 yogurts no fruit or veg just oxo and sugar free jelly. I was quiet looking forward to not having to count calories and watch measurements etc never mind ........ what i'm doing instead is not much different to what i've been doing lately anyway porridge for breakfast, egg or tuna for lunch with ryvita. chicken or fish for dinner with veg from allowance i'm quite happy, fingers crossed it does the job and the liver shrinks nicely.
I've seem lots of threads with ideas on how to get the milk down if your struggling, milky coffee, adding flavoring syrup (although not sure what it is) also adding it to your jelly ............ all worth a try x x x

Hey ladies, sorry i've been a bit absent, my surgery got moved forward to the 28th Jan!! So i've been lurking around the january thread to see how their experiences have gone. I've got 5 days left on milk diet and I am so bored of it now, I mean it's fine but I am just dying for a piece of fish or steak or even some broccoli. Hmph, bring on the op because ironicaly I need FOOD lol! X

The syrups are essentially the liquid they add to coffees in a coffee shops to make them a vanilla/caramel latte etc. there's hundreds of flavours to choose from! You can add them to smoothies or milkshake a or anything really. I had a peach and raspberry milkshake yesterday... Only 50kcals per 100ml x
