Has anyone had surgery at Homerton Hospital ...
If so how was it I'm due in there on May 3rd
They've been great on all my appointments so far, but just wondered about being on the ward
And what's the norm for discharge xxxx

Hey Tracey I had mine here on Monday 25th I was quite anxious and they done really well in calming me down from the getting into the gown waiting to go down right until they put me under. I was meant to go home on the Tuesday only problem was the doctors strike so I ended up going home Wednesday evening. X

I had the option of slimfast/low calorie or milk diet.

I done the milk diet which was -
- 4 pints of semi skimmed milk a day
- one sugar free jelly
- one salt drink so bovril/oxo or marmite
- 2 litres + of water a day
You're allowed no added sugar drinks and zero fizzys so coke zero etc there are tonnes of options now though x

I can't remember without seeing the sheets sorry. I chose the milk cause there was no food to tempt me. I tried Slim fast and soup it's good to have a variety as you don't know what you will tolerate until it's done kind of thing. Xx
