Wow! Well done, Vickie! x
 
Hi Vicki are you still on pain killers? I'm 5 days out and still in huge pain when I stand up and move about - all localised to op site and no wind pains thank goodness. No pain when lying/sitting in bed, but the thought of then pain is stopping me mobilising which isn't good. I'd put on 5 lbs when I weighed myself 2 days ago, but not worrying too much as I spect it's all fluid which will start to shift when I get moving!
Well done so far - you're doing great.

The 5lb could still be water or traped air. Even though u think u have rid of all wind. But no ive not been on pain killers since thrusday last week. I was only takin paracetomol too. As soon as i got bk home i was tryin to get back to normal straight away to stop me feelin like crap basically. Plus i have 2 young children so i needed to be as mobile as possible. But the more u move about the easier it gets. I feel the odd pull or pain now nd again but its just if ive moved or turned wrong. U will be better before u kno it hun. Dont worry about it x
 
What sort of foods are you eating sally if you don't mind me asking? I'm having some soft foods but really mashing and chewing like crazy before I swallow. But im going to ring dietitian next week. I don't know if I should be counting calories and grams etc at the minute I'm not and just choosing low fat/sugar high protein when I can. X

I'm having things like chilli, cottage pie, tuna and the insides of jacket pots. I'm the same going for high protein where I can. I'm finding it hard to think of meals though how about you? X
 
Ive put my self on soft food the past week. Ive been havin cherry tomatos, laughing cow triangles the extra light ones, scrambled egg, mash ect. Also been havin 1 slice of brown toast as i can manage that quite well. X
 
How far are you now post op Vicki? I'm having scrambled egg just had poached this morning too with chopped tomatoes, really enjoyed it! I got those slim a soups in yesterday enjoyed the chicken and leak with a few croutons. Also having mash, beans, mushy peas, tuna, chicken with extra light mayo. No problems soo far.

Im debating whether try a very mild curry tonight for tea it'll have onion, mushroom and potato, maybe bit if chicken. My boyfriend loves making his curries and said it'll be really low fat and very finely chopped for me.

I'd like salad stuff like cucumber and tomato but thinking it maybe too early to try that yet x
 
I had some curry the other day, still avoiding rice and stuff but managed a little piece of chicken it was lush xx
