I'm bypassed

[pumpkin28]

Hi all,

I was discharged this morning - went in Friday for bypass. All is well. Can't even describe what it feels like at the moment. Kinda like doing a million sit ups and waking up the next day sore. so no bad pain. up to now that is. and loads of pressure, but probably with the gas they gave me in the op and wind.


portion-wise, well, that has changed it could be coz of anaestheisa and could be coz of new size of tummy. however, i have to be honest, was still craving a piece of toast, so my head is def not prepared for this yet.

whoever is having their op, have courage, it is not half as bad - remember everyone heals differently. before you know it, you'll be out of the op and out of the hospital.

much love to all

Well done and welcome to the loosers bench too. Head hunger gets better in time and easier to manage, can remember coming home from the hospital myself and standing outside a deli and all i could smell was fresh bread, knowing i couldn't eat any of it lol !
