I got on the scales yesterday morning and mis-read them 
thought I'd put weight on in the last week!!!! Can you believe how totally stupid I am???? Got myself all worked up all day and by teatime was getting quite tearful... Then I realised that although the figure on the 'pounds' side of the scales had gone up, the number on the 'stones' side was actually down so I've actually lost 11 lbs in the week since my surgery :talk017:. Honestly if I had half a brain I'd be dangerous!

Hi hun glad your doing ok I think the wobbles are normal, I'm still I'm quite a bit of pain, wind and loo situation is now sorted just think it's general post op pains now but being a bit of a wimp lol,I was meant to be going back to work tomorrow but have been and got a sick note as really don't think I can do it.iv managed a few more calories today but getting sick of the liquids now. How are you getting on with pain and food intake? Xx

Hi hun, pain is ok, mostly wind, although I did sleep on my side last night which has led to me being rather uncomfortable this morning, I did sleep well though haha.
Food wise it's still liquids apart from a couple of Dutch crispbakes, one with sugar free jam and one with light cheese triangle. I don't think I'm getting too many calories in but feeling ok if a little tired....
On the subject of BM I've started taking my metformin again and that has 'got things moving'. When I see the doctor in a week or so I'll have a chat with her about the way forward in that respect as my blood sugar isn't high enough to need the pills really. I am checking it frequently to make sure nothing bad's happening in that respect.
I don't think you're being a bit of a wimp at all, we've both had major surgery and need time to recover. Also our bodies aren't getting much energy in to help that recovery so be kind to yourself, we'll get there! I think it'll help once we're off the liquids and getting a little more nutrition, personally I can't wait to get some fish inside me

Oo Dutch crispbreads are really yummy - presumably they're ok as they disintegrate when you get them in your gob?
It does sound like you're recovering well though!
