Anyone under Luton & Dunstable hopsital

Hi guys, I'm new to this however I had my bypass Thursday 26th March, I was sat in recovery most of the day waiting for a bed up on the ward. The minute I got on the ward I asked to go to the toilet all dosed up on morphine I walked to the toilet, I spent the rest of the day in bed however was sipping water and then discharged on Friday evening with my medication. I'm a little worried as heading back home to kent today about a 2 hour drive so hoping everything is ok!
 
Hi Toni how are you doing, i am Sue that was in with you, how was your first night out of Hospital? Mine was ok, had sone slimfast this am and slept for an hour after it. Hope your Journey home goes ok and you have a good recovery journey :)
 
Morning Toni , so how's the slim fast going down xbander.? Went to tesco and saw this new protein milkshake called team sky it has 26.g of protein. How much protein did they say you needed. Think some sites are saying 30g. Fatbloke1 did u get your date?. I went to premier inn this morning had my last eat as much breakfast., as they might start me on that milk diet tue .x
 
Hi, nobody has said how much protein we should have, i am just following the eating plan the diatition gave me and slowly introducing bits just had 150ml slimfast this morning, will have some condensed soup made up with milk for lunch and more slimfast later, will build it up tomorrow, dont want to push things, one tip drink using a straw its easier to take small sips, Toni was taking to big sips and getting pain until i suggested straws and it all settled down, so small sips with a straw is best. Initially dont worry to much about the amount of protein just follow there eating plan and you will be ok, at your follow up you can ask about things in more detail.
 
Hey, well I just got home the car ride was a bit bumpy but ok, I took a few pain killers before we left so that helped and stopped at the services for me to move a bit as I'm still suffering from the dreaded trapped wind! I've had a small glass of milk this morning and just had a small glass of choc slimfast which seems to be sitting ok thankfully ? so far so good.

Hi sue I had a feeling it when was when I saw some of your previous posts ? x
 
Glad you got home ok, all going well with me, you will have to keep walking to shift that wind, have just had some low fat condenced mushroom soup made up with milk, sived of course, it made a pint so i split it in 4 and had a quarter of a pint, it was heaven, ate it over anout 20 mins and so far so good. Glad all ok with you
 
Hello Bedford2015 , are you still in Prem Inn dining room having breakfast waiting for them to kick you out , did you manage to hide away some sausages n bacon for later he he he , I like the Toby Carvery breakfast yum yum yum !!!! No date as yet but theyve got me on Standby to be called in at any time , but the surgeon isnt in next week , Only worrying thing is Pre-op I have to stop taking some of my tablets and take some others because of my lungs , did ring hospital to find out what I should be doing with regards tablets n diet until Op and they said they would get back to me ....but no one has ,...so in limbo at mo .Gunna stay on milk diet until im told otherwise !!! Nice to see those that have had Ops are home and starting their journeys , really good luck to each and everyone of you and hope to join you on the Losers bench very soon xx
 
Lol Fatbloke1 it was yummy and I am still full, had to try Yorkshire pudding and gravy for breakfast. Looked at childs menu for the future and thought it was a lot for what we will only be able to eat, unless u can buy one sausage. I could not believe the amount of fat people having breakfast. I actually looked skinny to them. There portions were huge. The bloke next to me went up for a 2nd massive portion. Ate to much got pain, thought to myself this pain is going to ten times if u dump.
 
Ha ha ha , funny you say that Bedford2015 , I went to the Toby Carvery one night and the place was really packed with very very obese people , it was like A bariatric christmas get together , I was by far the smallest , looking at what some folk ate you could see why they had weight n health problems , I actually stopped going in the evenings after that , it was if there was going to be a prize for who could get most on their plate .........although big , alot of my troubles have been caused by Steroid abuse and Alcahol ........never been a big eater , tho I do eat the wrong stuff !!! Post-Op im looking forward to trying to cook properly and a healthy diet !!!!
 
Morning all, so I'm 3 days post op, managed to get down a small glass of milk for breakfast and 2 small glasses of slimfast for lunch and dinner yesterday. Couldn't handle much more! Finally managed to get a decent nights sleep in the comfort of my own bed thank fully. Hope you are all doing well. I really want to get on the scales but no point yet still swollen and full of gas think I'm gunna wait for the 6 week check up xx
 
Glad all going well and you had a good nights sleep, i only had a small bit yesterday as well, drank in total i bottle slimfast and two small bowls of condensed soup made up with milk, as i dont like milk on its own, had slimfast for breakfast this AM but going to try having something every couple of hours today and fluids in between. Glad all going well, keep sipping :)
 
Mind you I have more incisions over that side of my body so may have just been battered about a bit more just hurts. Sue have you managed to eat other things today? I'm not feeling very hungry only managed a small amount of milk this morning and a couple of teaspoons of smooth yog at lunch and been sipping water throughout xx
 
To be fair I could just be reading into it to much I have more incisions on this side of my tummy so may have just been pulled about a bit more than the other side. Sue how have you got on today? I'm really struggling to eat I had some milk this morning and a couple of tea spoons of yog for lunch xx
 
Just take it really slowly, remember its very early days, and make sure you sip very small sips, i make 150 mls of slimfast take 20 mins and have had it every 2 hours, just take it very slowly am sure you will be ok
