Thats what i did miss the most on my pre op diet too!! I love carrots (raw, steamed, roasted, boiled, mashed..)

Cant wait until i am on puree and can have some pureed carrots

I am on liquid stage so had some carrot soup (added protein powder to get more protein in the meal)

I am glad you are feeling well and not hungry on your pre op diet

When did you have you op , and what did you have, can you see the wounds,? I not sure what to expect,

 

[chaos69]

good luck with your diet.

When did you have you op , and what did you have, can you see the wounds,? I not sure what to expect,

I had my surgery on saturday (the 6th of september). It was bypass. i have 5 bandages and i am due to remove them on saturday evening. So nope i have not seen my wounds yet not sure i want to see them to be honest on my discharge the nurse said that i should not need any bandages after removing them.. So fingers crossed everything will be healed fine. I have a feeling the one where my drain was will be the most visible/least healed.

I didn't even know we would have a drain, my pre op is Thursday,
Day three of diet I seem to have lost 5lbs, husband moaning at me to pull my jeans up as they are baggy,
So it must be right what the scales say, feeling empty in the belly tonight ,so used to feeling full.

 

[Curls40]

What I miss is not eating as much fruit as I can, already gone over my allowance of two portions of fruit today and yesterday.

 

[Curls40]

Day four,
Not feeling too great today,muzzy head and a pain in my right hand side lower down.
Hubby had a indian takeaway last night so I made him sit in the back room, this morning they all had bacon scrambled egg and waffles, what I would normally have ,I just simply removed myself from the room to upstairs,
Today I'm volunteering as I normally do on a Sunday cooking bacon and burgers for my sons football team, taking the cakes left over from my charity tea party to sell too, so none left in house,
Work Monday 4:30 am wake up, let's see if I have enough engery

 

[Mrs Z]

It does get easier. I felt like I had a hangover during the first week and not even had a drop since last year.

It's worth it to see the weight coming off and knowing your surgery will be safer.

On the morning of my surgery the surgeon told me if you wake up with a drain that means either bypass or sleeve was done. So i was so happy to see my drain when i woke up.

So i took everything off my wounds yesterday (as instructed by the nurse). So the hole where the drain was looked the best! All sealed and smooth. The others.. Well i covered them for a few days.. Some still had some stiches not melted away so i was afraid to pull on them.. (If left incovered), one looked a tiny bit more pink around, One Still looked a bit open . well it still was, even was bleeding after i took the steristrip off half of the cut just popped open So shall see how it gets on today.. Might go and see a practise nurse at my gp's tomorrow if no improvement but at least non of them looked infected/swallen or very red around so thats a good thing.

The cuts seem to be so small! I cant imagine how they manage to do everything inside you with such small cuts. Cant wrap my head around it

Hope the diet gets easier for you you are doing a great job! And soon it all be just in the past.

Yes! It was tough for me too. You should really try and not go over the allowance of fruit (especially on the last 7 days). I know its tough! It was extremely hard for me too.

I was dreaming for at least an extra fruit everyday!! I wish i could have swaped my daily yogurt for a fruit as i left yogurt untouched most of the days

 

[Curls40]

I would pop to the doctors , yes,
You don't want to get an infection

 

[Curls40]

A good dinner tonight ,feeling full.
Small butternut squash roasted,filled with spinach and chopped mushroom,
2 ozs chicken, cabbage and cauliflower, used a brovil cube for gravy,
Going to have a mango later.
