December 2014 Surgeries

Hope you all are well and had a fantastic Christmas. Mine was a real eye opener. I keep having to remind myself I'm still learning. I'm on mushies at the moment, so had everything just well cooked. I can manage about 10-15 baby fork fulls and I'm full. My full warning doesn't seem to have a feeling of full like before, my warning is that my nose begins to run which is odd but I know that if I eat even a spoonful or fork more it will all come back. I've avoided all the usual Christmas treats in our house, my will power has increased tenfold since surgery, no sweets, crisps, alcoholic drinks, chocolates have wormed their way in. I felt really proud of myself as this time last year I would have gone to Tesco's and morrisons on Boxing day to buy cheap Christmas foods and goodies to last throughout January, when we all know they wouldn't really last that long. I am proud I didn't do this and instead went into our new Asda and bought a lot of reduced price fruit and veg. I plan to do the same on New Years eve, as a lot of local shops reduce the prices of perishables massively. I paid 15p for a £3 fruit platter which was shared on Christmas Day evening. This year has been a real eye opener and I hope next year will be the year where I change from the 'ugly' duckling to the swan I want to be, will be. I will go back to Thorpe Park and get on the rides I was unable to ride, I will go to the London Dungeons and go on the ride at the end, not feel ridiculed when asked to get off as the bar wouldn't come down. I will do these things. Anyways, hope you ALL have a fantastic New Year. :) Thanks for all the support this year, amazing to read all the posts and journeys that we share.
 
I've yet to hit the 'I've eaten too much' barrier and I'm eating more and faster than I've been advised. However I do get the 'can't fit any more' feeling rather than a full feeling and then feel hungry a few minutes later. As texture changes it seems I can eat less of more solid foods - for example scrambled eggs give a totally different feeling to soup and I know I can't eat much of them before feeling bloated.

As far as pain goes I have an emergency appointment this evening with the out of hours GP - the pain has got so bad it took me an hour to get out of bed to go to the bathroom this morning. I'm screaming with pain when I try to sit up. Sometimes I even get the pain while in bed and can't move around to find a more comfortable position. It's crazy.
 
Hope you feel better soon Marcus. Hopefully you OOH Gp can give you some much needed pain relief. As for foods, when I moved from liquids to puree/mash I went from being able to handle a good cup of liquid, to 10-15 baby forks of food depending on consistency. Take care xx
 
I've been put on an extra neuropathic painkiller but I know this one takes a few days to work. For now I'm ok until the pain kicks in during the night. I just took a painkiller after about three hours sleep and hope to sleep again soon.
 
An abdominal muscle was accidentally cut during surgery. The pain is quite extreme but getting better every day. Only took 30 minutes to get out of bed today (took twice that yesterday).
 
As December draws to a close remember to wish Katyloo the best of luck!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and all the best for a happy new year! Good luck katyloo. Sorry to hear of your problem Marcus and hope it heals very soon.
Well almost 3 weeks out now and almost a stone lost since op day. Xmas day started my puree fortnight and I managed a blended dinner OK. Not feeling hungry and can easy forget to eat. Drinks especially cold ones seem to hurt going in still for a second or two even though they're sips. Doesn'talways happen with warm drinks though. I tried dulcolax last night and woke up at 4am and then at 8 with aagonizing cramps! Did the job but don't want to feel that pain again lol. I've had a pain the last few days , about a 4" line to left of my navel that feels like a stitch. Too low for my pouch so I'm wondering if I have a twisted bowel or something? I'll see how that goes. Good news is I was a size 28 last Sept and I've just bought lots of sale stuff in size 20/22 and they fit great. Feeling happy xxx

Surgery cancelled for tomorrow. Hurrumph.
 
Ahhhh no :( that sucks, was it the bed availability ?
I still haven't had any news on a new date since my dec 18th surgery was cancelled, and I'm still on the pre-op diet... Which is 6 weeks now. Pretty close to picking up a biscuit and dipping it in sum vimto.
This is sum emotional roller coaster and I ain't even got to the surgery part yet
 
Sorry to hear that Katyloo, I remember a second date next week was also mentioned - is that still possible?

I still have a lot of pain. It's hardly easing off. Getting frustrated now - it takes an hour to plan getting up from bed, that pain really is that bad.
