Congtatulations on the op and good luck for a speedy recovery

Hi all, thanks for your messages. I was discharged this morning and after a horrible journey I am now at my mums. I am still in some pain but seem to be managing with dispersable co-codamol. It tastes disgusting though!

The hardest thing at the minute is keeping my three year old away from me, bless her, she just wants to climb on me and cuddle me.

To all the bypass experts on here, how much were you drinking at this stage? I am only managing a couple of sips, and they hurt when they hit my stomache :-(

Other than that, I am doing good, just worried about dehydrating!

Hi Rose,

Glad ur home and doing well, can I ask, where did u have ur op? I'm going into sunderland tomorrow and wondered if thats where u have been?

Rose I was managing about 1-1.5L when I first came home but by the end of the first week I was managing 2L per day no problem. The trick is to find which one better suits you, hot or cold. In early days I could get much more warm fluids in than cold fluids. So I would have a half cup tea/coffee/hot choc and sip tiny sips and then I would get a fresh warm cup and start again. Some have said cold was easier because of the reduction of swelling. So ice lollies, frosty milkshakes, iced water or juice may go down better for you. Remember, drinking yogurts without bits and sugar-free jellies count towards fluids!

Had my bypass but feeling awful!

Had to get an emergency gp appointment this morning for some stemetil to help with the nausea. Haven't been able to keep even a sip of water down in 36 hours so becoming dehydrated. Not good!

The pain in my tummy is lots better tho.

Thanks for all the messages

Hi everyone

Sorry for being away a while, I have had the worst week ever.

To start with, as I said further up the thread that I was nauseus, well that got worse. I didn't keep anything down for 3 days, was dizzy and extremely dehydrated and in a lot of stomach pain, and on Thursday I got rushed in as an emergency to Sunderland Royal Hospital (not where i had the op).

I had every part of me scanned, xrayed, prodded and poked.

After 4 nights of IV therapy (fluids, anti-emetics, and 2 lots of antibiotics) I was finally discharged yesterday.

I have had the worst 10 days of my life, and feel like I have been hit by a truck.

But now I have started on pureed diet, trying hard to drink fluids (but that's hard) and I am feeling a lot better than I did.

I also met lots of people that were getting bands and bypasses in Sunderland which was nice.

Fingers crossed it will get better from here.

Hope everyone else is ok.
