The drive from Manchester to Edinburgh was over three hours long, I felt every bump along the way. The thought of finally being at home kept me going, lol. But I'm happy with Prof Ammori's work.
The sipping is taking some getting used to, there doesn't seem to be enough time in a day to get the fluids in. Will try to sip more, lol.

No trapped wind at all, TG.
(No ShrekWee (c) either - MR said he didn't use the dye on me
Yours, Windless of West London
This is unfair - how can the person who copyrighted ShrekWee get away without experiencing it? If I had known I would have phoned MR and asked him to let you have the experience of it.
I'm really sorry to hear how bad you were sick - I must have been really lucky. I was given anti-sickness medicine all the time I was in there but I was up and about within an hour or so of getting back to my room and drinking a cup of coffee and requesting smooth yoghurts the following day. The only time I felt a bit sick was when I came round after the op.
The trapped wind caught up with me on Weds morning (Op was on Monday) and I think I've now finally got rid of it. I got a few strange looks from people who came into my room on Weds morning to see me holding onto the end of the bed groaning
maybe they thought I was trying to give birth. When I got home I tried various suggestions from people, like hot water, mint tea, various anti-wind tablets but nothing worked so I just put up with it and over time it got easier.I think I may have been a bit naughty and went to sleep laying on my side the first night, there was no way in the world I can ever sleep on my back.
Like you Jozefina I only had 4 incisions and no drain - maybe as you can't be a member of the ShrekWee Club we could start a new one - the 4 holers
Hope your pain level stays undercontrol, I took one dose of paracetamol when I got in and haven't had the need for them since.
I decided to jump on the scales to see what was happening this morning and since the start of my liver shrinkage diet I have already lost 10.4 kgs
you're right no need to fear the scales anymore.Glad to hear that you're feeling better today.

Hopefully it wont hurt, was surprised that I didn't have any just steri-strips. Anyway, once there gone then that's it, all you have to concentrate on is the future and a new slimmer life.
All the best for this afternoon.

Hi all
5 days post op and last night OMG had a real bad pain in my left side under breast (rib cage) I was burping a lot but was getting slightly worried, so usual walking around and moving hoping it was trapped wind and nothing real serious! anyway my panic of sneezing after surgery was on my mind and what happens I sneeze twice get a sharp pain in side more intence and guess what after that no pain....... guess it was trapped wind! lol oh did I panic tho
Feeling better each day and getting a bit more fluids into me and not feeling as exhausted as I did
Hope all ok with you guys and good luck to those who have their surgery coming up!

A very warm welcome to the ShrekWee club - new members are always welcome to our very unique club. :clap: And you're boasting with 5 holes are you trying to make us 4 holers feel inadequate
With regards to your dressings I removed mine about the same time as you and surprise surprise there was no hissing of trapped air and no leakage it should all be OK, I just had steristrips under mine and just gently eased them away before cleaning the area with an antiseptic wipe and everything looks good. It's a nice relief to be rid of them.

ooh can I be in the shrekwee club please??
