Well I am now 2 weeks post op, it's been quite a journey so far!
Firstly thank you to all that wished me well for my Op, it was really kind and much appreciated. I am so sorry I did not get a chance to respond, I felt so bad, by the time I plucked up the courage to post on here, next day I was in dolan park and Op done. The first week was quite horrible, not for the post op pain or anything, but I had a reaction to something and was covered with Hives, itching! Horrendous is not the word. After having to take piriton, and 3 days of steroids ( 6 tabs at once) it finally cleared up thank god!
So here I am 2 weeks post op, today I am allowed mushy foods - yummy!
The biggest and bestest thing so far, which is truly amazing and makes me feel really teary is my diabetes/insulin resistance has gone! It sounds to be good to be true but all the symptoms I had have just gone! Mr Super told me this would happen, but i didn't actually believe him lol. I used to have to go to the loo over 25 times a day, about 5 in the night, drank about 2 litres minimum of diet coke and more water. I now only go to the loo 3 times a day - how crazy is that. For the first time in nearly 3 years I don't have blurry eyes all day, I am not swollen, and I can actually see the top of my belly ( was so swollen before my belly came out more than my big boobs!). my feet also have gone down half a size lol and I don't get a tight chest when i walk. It is just too crazy too imagine.
If anyone is diabetic and thinking of having this done, I say yes yes yes, go for it. In 3 weeks, 1 week pre op and 2 post, my life has changed diabetes wise. No meds, no uncontrolled sugars, no feeling so toxic and swollen.
I look forward to the weight loss, have lost 1 stone so far so am happy with that, but to feel normal and not like I am swelling and getting bigger every day makes me smile all day. Thank you to all who advised me and supported me on here, im only starting my journey, and i know there may be harder times ahead but I couldn't be happier to keep trying hard!
