December 2014 Surgeries

Pain has eased off a bit over the last day. I feel somewhat more in control and have made myself available for work from next week (despite being signed off for another week). As I'm on a zero hour contract I'm not paid if sick.
 
Hmmm... Well apart from the visible scars, you would not know I have had anything done... I can eat what I like, drink what I like.... With no restriction, not tried bread rice or pasta.... The only time I felt like I had done too much was on New Year's Eve. I was at a wedding, and had soup to start, it was a chicken dinner so ate only the potatoes and stuffings... And then was full so did not want anything else... In the evening, the buffet was chilli and jackets so I had the insides and again I was full... But I had a good size portion!!

Worried now .. What if it has moved, would I know?

Fill booked for the 20th, the first one since surgery. At the moment I have nothing in the band at all.....
 
It could be that the band needs filling or it could indicate a problem with the band, do be extra careful with bands as lack of restriction is one of the major symptoms that something is wrong.
 
How's everyone getting on?

My own pain level is much lower now and I can stand up/sit up without any pre-planning and rarely experience severe pain when doing so. I'm losing about 1lb every two days, I know I should stop weighing myself daily but it's a bit of a habit at the moment. When I move home next month I don't think I'll take my scales with me (although if I have space in my suitcase...)
 
Good to hear you're doing better


Myself I havent had any pain. Nausea or any op related problems luckily. But a stinking cold and sinusitis.

Onto puree now. ....do not like. Lol. Ready brek is my new love. Had some pureed cod n cheese sauce it was passable.

All in all its going good. Absolutely no hunger at all if anything I'm forcing myself to eat to keep proteined up
 
Glad to hear that Marcus. My lower stitch type pain occurs less often now but usually when walking. No hunger at all, neither do I feel particularly full after a meal (still puree) so the only reason I stop is because I wasn't really hungry in first place. Weight loss still slow like nothing in a week but I'm trying to walk more.had 11 or 12 stones to lose at start of journey but about 6 to go so not too disappointed I suppose. Hope everyone else is happy and healthy. My first follow up is 28 Jan. Please let me lose another stone by then lol ;)
 
I'm 4 weeks out and have started to get a really painful wind-like pain in my left shoulder. Just like straight after surgery. Tried everything to shift it but nothing works

Hi hun my friend had same prob around same time post op. Apparently although she was chewing she was still eating a little to quick hence gulping air which can cause terrible wind pain in upper left shoulder/ chest side. Try hot peppermint teas a good 3/4 hr before and after you eat! X

hi val sorry to hear you have the runs the whole time have you thought you might not be able to tolerate milk /dairy what about alternative milk like soya or almond? Xx
 
Hi Ali
Well I think you have a point in drinking milk as it did make it worse a few days ago but still have milk in tea and the odd yogurt could it still be this? I am struggling with puree and want to move on to mash is it to soon? How are you doing having it the same day hoping to be a close line with how your doing. I will say no painkillers today ? xx
 
I had the same problem. On another thread someone suggested putting a banana in a microwave. Sounds a bit odd but it seemed to help settle things.

(Testing theory)

I've heard dancing naked on the roof of a bungalow surrounded by flats in an urban area really helps.
 
I haven't tried banana since my op yet as that used to be a problem food for my reflux before didn't want to flair up the acid again val have you tried almond milk in tea it's not too bad ? I must be weird in always hungry and starting to think did they bypass me lol! As for pain relief stopped it three days after the op!! X
