I am now a post opper!! I had my op last wednesday and it was ok.

I have had a few problems trying to drink the amount I thought they wanted me to drink straight off but now I have talked to the dieticians I am fine and not bloated anymore.

I am loving having smoothies (just frozen fruit and milk, blended) and smooth soup, not loving slimfast though so if there is any alternative that is nicer then please let me know!!

I hope you all have good journeys

Don't know bout everyone else but when I came home after my op my days were spent eating slowly and drinking sips round the clock it was difficult to fit anything else in. Even when I got back to work had to stop and eat when I needed to and keep drinking bit akward round teenage school kids. When I wasn't eating or drinking was walking or sleeping. Was a busy period. Did any one else find it like that??

Instead of slim fast have you tried making 'double-milk'? Add 1-2 tablespoons of skimmed milk powder to a mug or glass of 'normal' milk. It increases the protein. I don't like it cold but it is great to make a milky coffee or cocoa. Congrats on your op, and welcome to the losers bench

thanks for all of your replies. I have spoken to the hospital again and I am ok to take milky coffee with added milk powder instead of slimfast so I am doing that. I am as I said using smoothies as well also with added milk powder.
