Did they give you any Lanzaprole when you came out of hospital, that is to help with wind. Good to know you have got over your other problems though.

Hi all, came out of hospital this am. That place is def worse than Bedford. The right hand does not know what the left one is doing. Can't believe they had no multi vitamins- they do not stock them! Yet it's the one I was given from surgery. Never gave me any med yesterday, kept asking for it. Had a really bad headache due to dehydration asked for paracetamol at 8am never revived till 4pm. First bit of food I got was this am and it was porridge but discharge said go back to liquid. What they did give me was two backs of omperazole which I believe done the trick, then I asked the Dr should I now go on this 3 times a day, she said no! Yet this solved the acid problem. Glad to be home. Xx

Great news to hear you are home but sad to hear that your treatment you got was shoddy. Hope that you can now move on and improve. Take things easy. I have had a few episodes all because I haven't learned to eat properly yet. No doubt that will come with time. Big hugs.

Forgot to say I hypo in the hospital 3 times. Don't want to ring hospital as they were not helpful when I was in..I really want a drink x

I eventually made the decision to ring hospital . Told if I don't get ant liquid down in the next hour I would have to go through A&E again, well I was sick till 2pm.tried milk and it went down. I was so happy. Rang back nurse and told to ring back tomorrow to see how I go. Just so thrilled to not producing bile x
Sorry you have been feeling so ill. You seem dehydrated and if you have had hypos you will feel really thirsty..have you tried sucking on ice to curb your thirstiness without the volumes of water?
Sounds like you had a really negative experience in hospital....
I have found them less helpful with post op support... whereas pre op I found them brilliant... Its a shame really

Thanks guys. yes had an ice pop last night. Two hours latter I thought I would try half can of Tomato soup - 1 teaspoon it came back up left it an hour had a cup of tea that went down and then tried soup again at 9pm it went down.
Today's plan to separate my tablets
So today was not a bad day
6.20- omperazole
-6.45 am - tea
8.00-9.30 100ml of choc slim fast
9.45 - ferrous sulphate
9.55 - iced squash I made the night before 25cl
11.45- vitamin tablet
12.30 - tried 1 teaspoon of chicken soup got stuck
13-30 tried chicken soup again done 1/2 tin
14.51- more squash.
Phoned hospital to give them update I am thinking that my oesophagus goes into spasm. It does not like anything thick or its random. My mum had the same without the surgery. As I said before this happened with the band, then removed I was never sick again.. Nurse will phone me tomorrow x
Oh yeah bought myself a Fitbit charge HR watch it's great managed over 6000 steps yesterday at work- think that was how many times I used the toilet. Would recommend it. Even shows bpm.
I am 40 this Friday and feel lost what to do as can't eat out, London will be too exhausting without proper food intake ,was going to New York, what a change in plans
Thank you for the support.

That's not good bless you. All is good for me I've not really been that adventurous with foods still quiet nervous about new stuff and I wasn't able to see the surgeon on my 6 week check up through not feeling well so I have an app with the nurse this Friday and then the surgeon on the 22nd June so until I've seen them still unsure about what to eat lol xx glad your doing really well though Huni. Have you experienced dumping yet? I've been lucky so far fingers crossed and not had any thing like that.
How's everyone else getting on? Xx

Am doing well, have my 6 week check up on Monday. Want the surgeon to say I am OK to go off to Sweden, if he does will be booking the ferry straight away. I am experimenting with different foods, not all low calorie, that will come later. Had a lovely cheese and potato pie tonight, I mashed them with lighter garlic and herb cream cheese, then put under the grill with some grated cheddar on top. Definitely know when I have had enough and I also do not feel hungry, so have to keep an eye on meal times. Am surprised what I can eat but still have to be careful on the way I eat, have had reflux a few times, but not for two weeks now. Not a pleasant experience, something I don't want to repeat. Weightloss has stalled which I believe is the norm for some. Have lost 27lbs since op. So more than happy. Hope you are all doing well now.
