April 2015 Surgeries

Really glad to hear how well you are feeling and I'll certainly be having a peep at your diary as it's interesting to see how others have progressed through their wls journey xx
 
Good to find this thread. I had my surgery 15th April and Luton and Dunstable.

How are you all progressing Post-Op??

Hi luluah. I had mine 2 days before you. I'm getting on fine, apart from feeling quite tired and having a little infection in one of my wounds! Minor problems though. How are you getting on?

Im doing fine. I have been struggling with food as it bloats me and stops me drinking.. trying to balance it better and get fluids in.

I've had an infection in one of my wounds but is getting better now. Starting to heal over and got special dressing on. Want to swim but been told to wait until wound is healed - even though I have waterproof dressing.

Just taking it one day at a time.... xxx

Hi luluah, I had mind on the 27th Apr, am doing ok, I've just moved on to puréed evening meal with liquid in the day. I've been very lucky wounds have healed well with no infection. The only problems I've has have been with milk, made me feel very sick but swap to lactose free has helped. I hope you are doing well, the lovely people on here are fab, always a king work with plenty of advice & support xxx
 
Can I join you?
I had my bypass on 27th, having had my band removed about 7 weeks before. Unfortunately I had my keyhole op converted to open because of adhesions so recovery slower

Hi JJJ. All is good for me thanks. 9 weeks post-op for me on Monday, can't believe it. I start normal food then so I'm looking forward to trying a few more varied things! How are you getting on?
 
I'll be 7 weeks post op on Mon.
Doing ok too thanks. Glad to see you're on a similar dietary programme to me. Think I'm progressing to soft foods @8weeks. So many seem to be much more accelerated.
 
That's good to hear. I know, I don't get why the advice is so different? Who's right? Who's wrong? Who knows?!! All we can do is follow our providers advice. :)

I had a bit of a wobble with soft food, cause there seemed to be so much choice but after 3 weeks of liquid, then 3 weeks of purée, it's actually been ok. I'll still take it easy for a bit but I'm looking forward to trying lots of different things to see if I can tolerate them :)
 
Really good thanks :) The time has flown by and I'm feeling better than ever. How are you getting on?
