Got my date :-)

[Laura b]

Hi all got my date for my bypass April 16th at Solihull spire parkway hospital I'm so happy, excited, nervous my emotions r all over the place I'm starting my pre op diet tomorrow wat milk did everyone have and wat yoghurts?? I was thinking the purple top one?? And mullier light, r u allowed the mullier light rice?? Did anyone start taking vitamins now?? If yes which ones? Sorry question after question from now until op date lol hope u don't mind, wat things shall I pack? X

 

[dottychic]

I had muller lite yogurts but I wasnt allowed the muller rice so Id check on that one...I had semi-skimmed milk and I was allowed 1 oxo a day Congrats on getting your date! XX

Laura Angel, we have a huge thread on here about packing, I'll find it and bring it higher up for you.

I loved the muller lite yoghurts.

I didn't have muller rice.

I had semi skimmed milk.

I had my usual vitamins pre op and post op.. Bassetts chewable until my prescription vitamins started after 2 weeks.

Any questions, just keep asking.

Love you Angel and see you very soon xxx

Best advice I can give is get your packing soon as soon as you can,
That way when your op comes round your not panicking.
Also I hardly used anything I took to hospital!

Hi Laura. Many congratulations on getting your date! Wowser, that seems to have come really FAST!
Well done love!
Milk - semi-skimmed, so that's green top.
Muller-Light yoghurts - fine.

Muller-Light rice....I would think is a complete no-no! Too many carbs in rice honey, you're on a low carb diet to shrink your liver.

I was also allowed 2-3 pieces of fruit per day and a small amount of low cal vegetable soup.
But check exactly what you're allowed by your provider as they all vary.

Awww thanks everyone, I'm not fond of rice anyway just thought for variety lol, it has come round fast faster than I thought it would got funding on dec 7th so not that bad but the waiting and not knowing was a killer, gonna start getting packed so I'm ready I know it's gonna come round fast xx

 

[emma-louise]

Sure will come round fast,
You'll feel better for being organised getting the packing done.
That way you can concentrate on your post op diet x

 

[Jane]

That's great news, really pleased for you.

 

[Laura b]

O yea iv gotta prepare all my post op diet stuff lol thought I knew it all but obviously I don't expect a lot of questions peeps from now till op date xx

 

[shelbell]

There is a thread on here about pre-op diets where people list their diet details and how they found it, think it's a sticky in the FAQ section x

Oh Laura im so pleased for you love, brilliant news.
You just ask away because you do forget everything you have read and learned because we have to wait so long for our dates...i forgot loads of things and needed reminding ha.
Bet your over the moon ha xxx

 

[Laura b]

I really am over the moon Hun, how u getting on x

 

[zarafa]

Congrats on getting your date hun! not long to go. I was on low fat low carb pre-op, so can't help much with milk diet, but in terms of packing - don't pack too much stuff, I hardly used most of the things I took with me. I'm 3 days post-op now The things that really helped:

- Lip balm (your lips can get really dry)
- Baby wipes/facial wipes
- Toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash
- Dressing gown + PJs
- loose clothing to go home in
- Face towel + small bottle of water (I used this to wet my lips first day post-op as I wasn't allowed to drink)
- Slippers
- Towel + bath stuff (for showering)

Hope that helps
