I read that you can't have chewing gum incase you swallow it and it gets stuck xx

 

[traceyb79]

Yeah no chewing gum allowed. Just has some sugar free jelly which I could sort of chew lol

I'll be glad to get back to work rather than sitting about and take my mind off food. My appetite is starting to come back

 

[Sophina]

Ah I didn't realise, thought it was worth suggesting anyway!!!

Yeh why don't you do a bit of online shopping?! New bag or shoes?!....no clothes though coz you're going to shrink in minutes over the next few weeks !!!!

 

[traceyb79]

It's always worth suggesting things x x

I might have a little look online x it will be nice when I can start clothes shopping x

Day 4 post op

My wind appears to have moved down my chest to my stomach a bit so it is a lot more tighter today, but I have managed to move about more which is good as my girls idea of helping is not quite the same as mine x

Liquids have been going down fine. Have been quite hungry today. Have managed 2 ultraslim shakes, ski mousse and 2 cup a soups. And I was a bit naughty and sucked to death about 5 wotsits.

That will probably be it now unless I have a yogurt before bed. I still see to be packing away a fair few calories but at the moment I am just focusing on healing.

Meant to be back at work tomorrow so I will see how I am in the morning. I am loving being at home though. day time TV and slouching on the sofa.

Hi Tracey glad your feeling a bit better today and managing to eat something, how are your wounds looking? Have the hospital been in touch? Xx

 

[traceyb79]

I haven't taken the plasters off yet. The nurse advised five days which is tomorrow so I'll brave it then. I feel happier with them on to be honest but I'll take them off tomorrow.

I'm actually feeling a bit unloved, no one has called me yet.

 

[Anna1980]

Oh gosh that's not good hun they say that they call you within 48 hrs post op x

 

[traceyb79]

Do they? I might call them tomorrow just to check that I am doing everything right,

 

[Anna1980]

Yeah I would if I was you,I'm there tomorrow getting my bloods done, do they take much blood? Xx

 

[traceyb79]

They fill three little test tubes. Didn't take long at all.

 

[Anna1980]

That's ok then think I'd pass out at anymore keep feeling a bit dizzy today not sure if it the nerves kicking in x

 

[lalole]

I didn't get any players over my scars, was yours glued Tracy? X

 

[traceyb79]

Hi, yes I think mine were glued. I had fabric plasters put over them. Did they not put anything over yours?

 

[lalole]

No she said Mr Super doesn't bother as he doesn't think we need them, wouldn't of minded them though just to cover the big ugly bruise x

 

[Sophina]

Good luck at work today Tracey xx

 

[traceyb79]

It's amazing how all surgeons differ isn't it.

Thanks Sophina. Am counting down till home time x

 

[traceyb79]

Day one at work done x

Looking forward to my sofa.

So far have had an ultraslim shake and 2 cup a soups, squash and tea.

Xx

 

[Anna1980]

Glad your feeling loved again Tracey lol
How you feeling today? Xx

 

[traceyb79]

I'm feeling ok actually. Bit tired and I'm glad to be back on my sofa. My stomach was feeling quite tight for most of the afternoon. I keep forgetting to sip slowly and keep carrying on as normal so I think this might have something to do with it x

How was your appointment today
