Hey welcome to the losers bench!!
That hardness is prob all the wind and swelling and it will go down..

The doc had me eat a couple spoonful of yogurt just to see it would stay down, which it did, that was around 20hrs after my op.

when went home and managed about 3 spoons of soup that night.

next day 1/2 can soup.

it will increase each day, just remember to go slow!! xx

so happy your on the other side!! xx
 
welcome hunni to the other side :) get lots of rest and keep your fluids up...... like u i was discharged on the same night as my op and i ate when i got home, just a couple of spoons full tbh i didn't much feel like eating for the first couple of days . wishing you speedy recovery x x x
 
Don't be scared,

I are the little custard pots ( well half) and protein shakes, it shouldn't hurt babe at all.

Welcome to banded life now, take one day at a time and ask Loadsa questions if u need too ;-)
 
Glad your ok :) I had slim fast ice lollies the first day and was fine. Just take it easy and keep sipping water or juice x.
 
Well just washed my hair and gave myself a flannel wash... So nice. Feeling human and also look 8 months preggas.

Cant wait for the swelling to go down, wind is
gradually with the help of deflatine.

Been more mobile this afternoon. less sleepy. OH says i have more colour in my cheeks.

Today ive had to eat

100 ml of protein shake and 4 desert spoons of soup. Lots of fluids to get the anesthetic out my system.

Been burping a bit as probably took in some air whilst eating.

Stomach been growling alot also.

I have attached my war wounds for you.

Ive got bruising lower down from injecting myself , look like a pin cushion. These socks are doing my head in. 2 bloody weeks!
