And so it begins...Kirsty's journey to a sleeve!!

[Tracey]

Haha a lot of people do name their new tummys lol

Well today i got up early had a shower, washed, dried, and straightened my hair which is very long, did some make up an put some decent clothes on. This took me almost 3 hours haha by time i was done i was shattered. I then went shoppin to 2 different supermarkets and got soaked in the rain. By time i got home id barely got the energy to put my pj's on im done in now. But been a nice day. Really struggeld with soup at dinner wind and gurgling was extra bad so only had a little. My incisions are a little sore now think iv defo over done it. Gna try relax tonight.

I was naughty this morning and peaked at the scales an i was very shocked in a good way. I will check agen in the morning and update as wednesday is my official weigh in day and will b 1 week post op. Out of curiosity what did u all lose in ur 1st week post op if you can remember.

Kirsty xx

Think mine was 18lb or something but i done that at 10days post op had barely ate - slowed down a lot since. well done on going out! it will knacker you for a bit lol xx

 

[FeeBee]

I think I was 7 or 8lbs too but since then it's mostly 1 or 2lbs but I've never lost weight consistently for even a month so I'm happy for the most part. Take it easier tomorrow young lady

 

[Lynneslims]

7lbs here week 1, 2lbs week 2.

I didn't lose anything! I went into hospital on the Wednesday morning and they said I was 17 stone 5 which I agreed with as my home scales said the same. I came out the following day - Thursday tea time and I was 18 stone plus. I can only assume it was fluids??? I'd opened my bowels in hopsital so it wasn't that. I did have endless drips until I left hopsital - but I was only there for 26 hours total! I was well fed up!!!! x

 

[xk1rstyx]

I was pumped with 5/6 bags of fluid in there as couldnt take anythin myself they took last bak off about an hour b4 i went home. I avoided weighing myself straight away as i knew would b more from swelling etc. Im gna go weigh myself now seen how much it is. Will update very shortly xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

Well i just weighed myself an in my first week post op i have lost.......
13LB WOW
Im over the moon wi that.

Kirsty xx

 

[starryeyed]

YAY well done lovely - well deserved xx

 

[FeeBee]

Congratulations! I hope it makes up for how rough you've been feeling in the first few days x

I was on drips for the first 36 hours so waited a week to weigh myself to avoid any unpleasant shocks too. I know from being in hospital previously when I was very ill and not able (or conscious) to eat and drink your body goes into panic mode and hangs on to whatever it can get.

 

[xk1rstyx]

Yh it makes the tough time i had an my 48 hours of hell in the hospital not seem so bad lol.

This morning i finally managed to drink my full protein shake i usually have to have it in 2 halfs and last night i managed to finish my 100ml soup. Im definatly slowly starting to manage more at a time.

Kirsty xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

Can i have the tassimo coffee pods jus the costa latte ones? I obviously wont add sugar and will probably only manage half a cup? What u think xx

 

[Tracey]

Well done on weight loss xx
The coffee should be ok xx

 

[paulam]

Hi Kirsty

Wow well done on the weight loss that is amazing xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

Thanks everyone. Today had been such a good day an iv just tried to take some paracetamol for a head ache an bad back an i threw up. Ah i was doing so well. Never mind x

 

[Lynneslims]

I'm fine with the costa latte tassimo drinks. Started about day 6 and no problems but tend to only have one or two at most. Congratulations on your superb loss!!!!

 

[Debs!]

Well done Kirsty. You've already made an amazing start. Hugs xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

Can i have children paracetamol instead of the disolvable ones an how much wud i need to equal two 500g tabs xx

 

[Lynneslims]

I was given the 6+ calpol and had to have 4 syringes. It says the adult dose on the side. It took so long to do that I bought the children's 6+ fast melts. I just suck them and far better at work!! The adult dose is 4 tablets.

 

[xk1rstyx]

Thanks for that lynn i will have to get some cuz im suffering with a lot of head aches xx

 

[xk1rstyx]
