August 2014 Surgeries

[sharon2014]

Hey everyone,

My surgery went ok, they accidentally nicked my spleen during the op but got it under control quickly enough. Was awake on the ward by 10pm Thursday night. Unfortunately was crippled with backache, we are unsure what caused it, we've come to the conclusion it was due to being laid flat on a hard surface for so long. By Friday evening I was in agony not only with my back but trapped wind too.

Was moved to my own room Saturday morning after a becoming uncontrollably emotional. Was crying at anything and everything all Saturday and Sunday, I couldn't eat anything except a couple of yoghurts.

The backache has nearly gone and thankfully has the trapped wind. Managed half a wheetabix this morning so I've been discharged, on route home right now. Feel tired and drained but not as weepy as I was over the weekend thankfully xx

Aww thats shame but glad your on your way home now!!! each day will get easier for you!! welcome to the losers bench!!! xx

well guys I'm home at last , sorry never replied phone flat and no charger... had surgery sunday morning was back in my room by midday... not much pain after and managed a cup of tea and water .... was good to go home by 5 pm so was discharged back to the lodge ... was a long drive home today was sick a few times...
Don't know if anyone has had anything like something stuck at the back of your throat . what ever it is makes me gag ,,,, feels like there is something lose but stuck the ,,, like its hanging by a piece of skin.... every time I throw up I can feel it... its like having a bit of spaghetti stuck in your throat and you cant pull it out.....


Otherwise besides for a bit of pain around the cuts i'm good thankyou all for the wishes move over on the loser's bench here I come

Well thats all the august surgeries done so onwards and upwards. I wonder if we combined our total weight loss from the start of august to the end of september what it would be. I will start it up at the end of the month.

That would be interesting, only 9 days to go for me to join you all

Hi ladies, I was wondering how you are all getting on post op?

I'm experiencing severe tiredness - I went to Tesco today and could barely manage to walk round and shop. By the time my husband came to pick me up, I wanted to crawl into bed and stay there!

I'm putting this down to a severe lack of calories as I know I'm not eating enough and definitely not getting enough protein.

Hopefully, stage two which starts on Saturday for me, will enable me to consume some more protein.

I'm also getting breathless when I start to do things like housework.

Is anyone else having the same issues?
