Ditto, Ditto, Ditto – this is getting boring .
I’m trying to sort out the CD’s into order, that shows how bored I am BUT I’m not sticking my head in the fridge or freezer thinking “what can I eat”.
Tried the Orange and Peach; Strawberry flavoured water, :yuk: another lot going to Hubby – this is getting silly.

I’m so disappointed with the Marmite drink it just didn’t live up to my expectations. I’m in the Love :heartpump: Marmite camp.
 
I can't believe that I've just asked what the lovely aroma was. It was the cat food, Rabbit in gravy.... what is my world coming to :crazy:
 
hang on in there pre-0ppers - it will be so worth it. My op went really well and I was allowed to go home yesterday evening. A little bit groggy and sore and more than a tadge windy but fine other than that.

That's great to hear, Chrisy! Yeah, the wind sucks :/ I'm on day 5 now and still suffering with it at times. Make sure that you take your laxatives if you were prescribed any, though. They do help to pass the wind a bit too!

Whoo I’ve hit my 10% target of 135kg :woohoo:

I had a really bad head towards lunchtime, then realised I hadn’t eaten any yoghurt or had any drinks since breakfast coffee DOH! Getting bored of yoghurt and trying to ring the changes with flavours although Hubby is ending up with a few that I really don’t like, Cherry anyone??

I know this is my pre op diary but I had a call from Hubby at lunchtime and couldn’t hear what he was saying. He eventually managed to get through and said he’d had a bad turn when he was on his own. He’s about 6 weeks after a laparoscopic fundoplication; he was like a whippet before let alone now! He had stomach pains which doubled him up, unable to walk and retching – not good. Left if for a bit to settle down before ringing me! So the GP saw him as soon as he managed to get back, he hasn’t torn anything just one of those things that is sent to try him or as I’d say “bite him on the bum”!

So limited as my cooking is now, I drop things quite stylishly, I offered to do him a baked spud, beans and grated cheese. Good old fashioned comfort food which should take ages to eat and slow him down. I couldn’t believe it, no picking of cheese not one little grated bit :angel09: I’m chuffed as it didn’t really bother me. I just wanted to make sure that Hubby got some food and felt better.

Went over by 96 cals :eek:

Drinks / Water / no added sugar squash - 10 glasses


Today was the day I’d been planning for with one of the team dietician. Friends I hadn’t seen for 2 years were coming up from Cornwall for a long weekend and we were going out for a meal. Although this is pre op diet styleee went a bit off plan with the stuffing and potato :eek:. Although I have counted all the calories I took my time, chewed it to bits and left food on my plate.

I was going to ave a Chicken Salad but looked on their website for nutrition information and found that their House Chicken Salad with Turkey Carvery was 868, and the Chicken Cesar salad was 736 – :confused: this seems backwards to me that a salad is more calorific than a carvery meal???????

So forward planning is the key and I’m getting a bit more understanding of what is in my meals. So on the water for the rest of the evening as I’m hot and bothered. I’m certainly not hungry….

Crappity morning – had my pre op – felt like a production line and no privacy. Given conflicting information for taking medication on day of surgery! Wasn’t weighed at all.
Had bloods taken and went across to speciality team as I couldn’t get hold of anyone on Friday. No one there, receptionist wasn’t exactly forthcoming but ended up letting Hubby use phone, spoke to secretary. Ended up getting wound up, went to the loo and saw the scales. So logic said to me weigh myself, we do it on support group nights. Oh No, Receptionist came out and spoke to me like a 5 year old and told me off, at that point I wanted out. They can stuff their hospital had enough of miscommunication today. So got out of there pretty quickly and burst into tears :cry: I cannot stand miscommunication :mad:

So my eating went out of the window today, wasn’t interested. BUT on a good note I didn’t aim for my comfort food (which would be savoury) – BUT didn’t eat enough…

So cheesed off all round
 
Hiya, hope you are feeling better today..

Dont worry about being weighed yesterday, they will weight you on sat when you go in. I was weighed on the day of the op. If you have any issue, ring Jo, the bariatric co-ordinator. Menon secretary is a witch, unhelpful sad woman...lol

Thanks Jan

Today is still the same :confused:

Unfortunately Jo is on emergency Annual Leave and no one else in the team seems to be returning my Hubbys calls. If I speak to anyone I'm likely to either snap their head off or burst into tears. My GP is concerned that my Naproxen is not being stopped prior to the op due to increase of bleeding (I hemorrhaged in a previous OP) and I can't get to speak to anyone.

If it's like this on Saturday I'll just walk straight out as I need to trust the people there.
 
When you go in on sat, Menon and the anesthesiologist will come and speak to you before surgery. You will be weighed, blood pressure etc... You will get the opportunity to ask the doctor any questions. It did reassure me.
The pre op on the monday is like cattle being pushed through..
Dont worry too much, just take all your medication as normal.
If you cant get through Jo, tried Neha one of the bariatric dietician. She is the best one there and will find out any answers for you xx
