Hi Susie,

I just saw this - i am new too and went privately for the bypass - just had it on 29th nov, i was very scared as i walked into the theatre, but things are going well, and seeing the pounds come off - so worth it

Ok then, today is the day.
I'm not worried or scared, in fact I feel quite positive. Strange.
I could just murder a cup of tea though
I'm just going to pop in to see my girls, who are still fast asleep then get off.
I am taking my phone with me so hopefully I will be able to let you all know how things go.
Later x
Sue

[susielicious]

All done and dusted.
Still could murder a cup of tea
Came back from theatre at about 12. I was in a lot pot pain then and don't remember them giving me anything on the ward. I have had a lovely little snoreger for the last few hours. Just woke to the sound of the tea trolley but I can't have none
Might get up and get my pjs on x

Hi everyone
Today is day 2 post band op and I'm home and happy.
I slept well last night after having 2 codine phosphate tabs. I woke at 4.30am and thought about asking hubbie to pop downstairs to get me more but fell back to sleep.
Today I have eaten well
Breakie
3 spoons ready brek
Lunch
4 spoons chicken soup
1 yogurt
Tea
1 glass of orange
1 lolly ice
2nd tea
1/2 bowl of soup
I have had plenty of fluids but this is hard to fit in eating 4/5 times in the day.
I have not been to sleep today and have managed to do some washing. I will enjoy a more lazy day tomorrow
My wounds look good, I haven't dared to feel my port yet. Too scared it might hurt.
Anyway enough about me.
Sue

Had a good day today
Breakfast
Half bowl ready brek
Lunch
Half tin chicken soup
Tea
2 blended sausages (nicer that it sounds)
Mash
Grilled tomato
2nd tea
Aero mouse
Muller light
Pomegranate lemonade (homemade not fizzy)
So not so bad
I can eat a bit more and I feel full sometimes.
I still haven't plucked up enough courage to feel for my port.
Wounds look good.
Bruise on arm from cannula driving me made its so deep and purple!!

Oh well on and upwards
