Hi Fizzpot

I think its safe to say you will no longer me a guzzler, more of a sipper - pinkie in the air lol

Seriously though its important to keep your fluids up so keep on sipping!

Everyone is different post op. I had my band on a Saturday, home on Sunday and was back at work feeling pretty much ok the following Monday (not the next day!)

Take care xx

Thanks Mazza I'm feeling a lot better today , still not completely comfortable but hey it's a start, I made it priority to have a coffee first, now I'm having a mini yoghurt and poured some squash! So I'm gonna push myself to have more fluids today.

Thanks xxx

Your very organised !! I left my bag until the day I was going in lol im crap! My boyfriend bought shopping home yesterday and some crusty cobs were sitting on top of the counter. Sounds pathetic but I wanted to cry ! And the fact he bought chippy chips home too! that's the old me - the new me is going to enjoy cup a soups x

 

[Yvessa]

See I don't know what's going on with me - I'm not normally this organised. I'm not normally a tidy upper. And I don't normally feel a need to make soup. After all the ones in tins are normally just fine. I think I am seriously nesting! It is a very bizzarre feeling!

You'll be thanking yourself when you come home and you just have to lift little pots out of the freezer not worry about what you guna have to day or tomorrow. Honestly it will be a blessing you have done that, my hubby and daughter did all my food the first 2 weeks so i know how greatful i was for that so its a blessing cause you will ahve enough going through your head with out worrying bout cooking and making stuff. Nothing wrong with nesting xxx
