I’m back home guys, and I’m feeling much better. Nausea has calmed down (thank God) as ive been prescribed anti sickness meds which I feel has really helped. Trying to keep on top of all my meds/vitamins as there’s loads to take.
I’ve been sipping away... loads of water, tea.. haven’t tried soup yet but determined to try later today.
My surgeon repaired a hernia he found in my belly button during the op which was great, as we both weren’t aware of it’s presence.
Overall I’m feeling much better. I think walking has helped a lot. I have two young ones (aged 3&1), so it’s been difficult trying to get them off my back lol.
KGs dropping already as well lol

Hi all,
One week post op today and I’m feeling great! Not in too much pain and my dressings came off last night. I do get the odd occasional headache and I find im getting tired very quickly but aside from that I’m feeling much better. I’ve also lost a stone so far!
As directed, Ive been on a clear liquid diet so I’ve been having clear soups, water, sugar free juice, jelly, ice lollies etc. Today I’ll be transitioning on to a more protein/thicker based liquid diet so I’ll be introducing sugar free low fat yougurt, yougurt drinks ect. Not feeling too hungry which is a big surprise for me given my history LOL.
Re my little ones - I must be honest and say things have been a bit difficult. My children are still very young and do not understand that mummy is “sick” so they are both continuously trying to jump on me, my youngest is expecting to be cuddled, carried etc. My daughter has Autism Spectrum Disorder and my son has some development delays so they both cannot help it really and they just do not understand. Really difficult.
I suppose I just have to get on with it as I don’t have much support around me, but I must say I do stop and have a little rest or lay down when I start to feel very tired and light headed.
My surgeon encourages patients to walk/keep active for 1.5 hours daily post op and I am confident my children have contributed to this massively lol. I also feel keeping active has aided and speeded up my overall recovery. So some advice for anyone reading - keep as active as possible if you physically/ mentally can.
As they always say.... your job as a mother continues regardless, wouldn’t change it for the world though.
Getting better as the days go by the day. Feel free to ask my anything xxx

All sounding positive. After my emcs with baby number three I genuinely think being active helped my recovery. We don't really have a choice with children (well unless they are old enough to understand).

Hey @LotusFlowerBomb thanks for checking in and especially thanks for letting me know how you are finding it with your kiddies and you are so right. I think the best thing, as @Parsnip has agreed is the just get on with life! The kids don’t stop and I imagine the longer we draw it out, the longer recovery will take.
So good to hear from you, keep us posted. I’ll be in touch! x

Great to hear your doing so well and have had a fantastic loss so far, I agree that we do cope amazingly well when we have to “get on with it”.. may I advise you to have protein yogurts rather than low fat, it’s all about the protein lol, 0% Greek style yogurt is great, as is Arla, and there are some called “Graham’s” I think I got those from home bargains or B and M, there are a few about. Good luck with the food transition. Keep on resting when you get a chance xxx
