Is it lunch time yet?

You struggling today, have you got a bug/cold ? . It's not an easy ride. Was doing ok but yesterday had a lovely bit of Chicken had a bit of mash might of eat it to quick had to go to bed to lie down after half an hour I felt so rough. It's all a bit mad
 
Sending some special thoughts your way, in hopes you get bit of sleep this evening :) as long as you can get some fluids in hunni thats the main thing..... get to that docs tomorrow and if still no better get in touch with the hospital too ............. try and keep smiling x x x x it does and will get better x x x x
 
Cupid...great news on the Nora batty jeans. I am so glad not to be shopping for tents in Evans anymore. I now hate the place. The money they have had off me over the years and if I think back there have only been a handful of things I even liked!

That is one of the most amazing things about this weight loss is going into ordinary shops. I was a size 24 at the start of this journey...hard to believe only started on 4th August. I am now a size 16. Though today hubby bought me a lovely body warmer from go outdoors which is an 18 but I need it big enough to get a fleece on underneath. I am really feeling the cold this winter :-(

We went over for hiking boots as when I came off the hill today my feet were wet. He insisted we just get in the car he was buying me new boots! It was too rich an investment for me to make, but my boots have been leaking for a while now. I felt guilty, as they are Brashers and are a huge investment EEK! But when he put it yo me that I do all the dog walkng, including one of his, and I should have all the right gear to keep me warm and dry, felt better ;-)

So I too went to the shops and kept my money in my pocket lol

Glad you felt able to go shopping you must be feeling a bit better xx

Keeping your feet warm and dry is important to your health hun so your other half is right. It sounds as if you do a lot of walking so a warm investment is a must.
I like Go outdoors and mountain warehouse as the quality is important. Keeping hold of your money is always a positive in my. Book. X
 
So today thought I would try some lasagna for tea....big mistake tried one fork and threw up straight away...really wish my brain would keep up.
Seems the only thing I can tolerate is half a weetabix, crispbread 1 with primula and orange juice. On the plus side enjoyed a small ice lolly today.
Started off so well with meds and vitamins but now even the thought makes me feel ill. :(
 
Cupid it such a strange learning curve, just as you think you got it you take a step back, I'm a bit fed up with it at the moment. Thought my crying was over spoke to my manager and spent most of the conversation saying sorry because I was crying so much. Then I had a very good afternoon I just want to be me again. :)
 
Huge hugs sweetheart..... not sure theres much i can say....except hang in there, it will get better :) i was 8 weeks before i felt normal and that was with my band, so i don't even begin to think with the bypass. I certainly don't have to contend with whats going to make me ill also but the huge plus is the weight is going to drop off....... I have spoken to some bypassers, even 6 months in and intake is still very very low ..... i guess it all falls into place eventually. You will get used to whats good or not for you :) i guess everyone is so very different with what they can tolerate. Its a lifetime of habit breaking too.... i take s the head along time to catch up.......... its still very early days yet hunni be patient with yourself, try not to run before you can walk.....be gentle with yourself :) Hope the infection is on its way out too, once thats cleared up you should start to feel a wee bit better.... slowly slowly life will fall back into place i promise :) you too Mouse :) the early weeks are hard going, but so worth it in the end :) x x x x x x x xHUge hugs and lots of kisses across those miles. Keep smiling x xx x

Oh sorry to hear C . Take one day at a time. Another lady on here says she too feels very emotional . It seems like its a common thing with bypass . I wish i could help! X
 
never eaten lasagna no clue there but im almost 7 months out and still struggle to get enough food in and finding food that appeals is a nightmare but it is a lot easier than it was at your stage just hang in there and keep your chin up also remember what dont agree one day might agree another im like that with chicken days it hates me days i cant eat enough of it just patience and practice
 
A day to smile today...was meant to go shopping but instead chose to watch a Disney Christmas Carol in 3D with other half coz it's his fav movie...let's hope he feels the same when it comes to my fav on Sunday ( James Steward It's a Wonderful life ) bonus to that is I don't feel as ill as I have been doing and coughing much less tonight so that in itself is a major achievement :) happy days.
 
A huge milestone hunni everyday you will feel better than the day before and slowly before you know it your be feeling a million dollars :) Sounds like you had a blooming glorious day and another to come on Sunday :) snuggle up tight to your best friend and enjoy some happy, peaceful times :) huge huge huge hugs x x x x take care x x x x
 
Sounds like you turned some corners all onwards and upwards each day now as you turn more corners then start heads turning go you x
 
ughhhh getting fluids in is the hardest thing immediately post op . I felt like i was constantly sipping.... doing anything else just interfered with that ughhhh then the break for eating ughghh its certainly is a mind bender to start with....... I found for me the best way was to get a huge mug (mine is 500 ml) i have breakfast..... wait then a mug...... lunch.....wait then a mug............tea.......wait then a mug................. and a couple more thrown in before bedtime done :) promise it does get easier :) i can drink a cuppa quite quickly now :) but yes its a pain but it comes x x x x Steps are fantastic mrs :) you certainly sound like your turning that corner now x x x huge hugs x x x x
 
Pleased your feeling better. Did you drink tea and coffee after your op, or just water.
Everyone seems to be having the same problems, how it soon gets better.
