I had a bypass at St Richards on 17th Oct... the nurses were amazingly helpful and all the staff were supportive and friendly. Dont be worried about anything - they look after you well.

I lost nearly 2st on the milk diet... I drank the milk hot (in the microwave - as I found it more filling than drinking it cold) and had sugar free jelly in the evening. Must admit the first 2-3 days were the worst, but you have to think its for a reason and you will get there!

One thing I would say - is do your best to get up and about asap post-op. The sooner you walk, it will help with any trapped wind... and I must admit once I managed to get out of the gown the next morning and had a shower, I felt wonderful.

Good luck x
