HI ladies i has a bypass last August and i luckily only had pain the day after op after that was slight discomfort getting up n down off bed n setee etc othert than that i was fine my consultant told me to practice taking deep breaths and i think that helped a lot I also found that fromage frais yoghurts were nice to eat just the little kid ones at first the munch bunch ones and low fat custard i used to stew my own fruit apples strawberries raspberries bananas all separately of course, i was scared about what i could and copuldn't eat my husband took over the meals and he looked at my diet sheets and concocted everything so i didnt have todo anything for the first fortnight until i got my head around what i was allowed and how much a portion size was. Its alot to take in when you've had a n op i was very tired for a couple of weeks but went back to work after 2 weeks and touch wood never really looked back. xx good luck xx
I'm back to work on Monday, it'll be just over 2 wks after the op. I feel great in myself slightly worried that the foods not puréed enough but not getting any pain or discomfort when eating so i assume this is ok. I do however get a strange feeling when I drink, at first I thought I may be gulping but I've starting taking more notice and I'm only sipping it, is the strange feeling normal? The other thing im sick of is stinky breath, I've never used so much mouth wash or brushed my teeth so much in all my life!! x

I think the breath problem is common however be careful with the more solid food it can expand your opening into the stomach and you will end up being able to eat more food than was intended also its to give your inside time to heal thats also why the water and protein is needed to speed up the healing process. Hope that meakes sense to you. xx

I was told that I would be in hospital 1 night and off work for a week. I don't do any lifting in my job, but do quite a lot of driving and it can be very stressful. Do you advise being off longer? Was anyone ready to go back to work after a week? I work full time. The other issue is that I have 7 children from 13-1 at home so it is often easier and quieter at home if I am honest lol

Hi I had my op 10days ago and feel fine to work, but my job has a lot of heavy lifting, so my boss want me to have 6 weeks off then on light duties, but hey who am I to argue as it still full pay
But my surgeons letter to my gp says no driving for 2 weeks and the physio also gave me a sheet that said no driving for 2 weeks as well. So I would be carefull as u may not be insured xxx

Yeah if you are going to be lifting you need to be careful I waited at least 3 months before getting back to serious exercise just did lots of walking went back to gym in January do about 40 minutes cardio n little bit of weights but you can see difference but have waited a while only probs is once i go to gym my weight loss slowsdown some people lose more i lose less but i look better than my weight sounds if you get my drift Iv always looked heavy but people same size as me weigh couple of stones lighter, not fair but thats the way it is you take it easy and if they guna pay you to be off then thats brill they won't recognise you when you go back, they'll think you the new girl x
