Nice one. Glad you've turned the corner. Energy builds up slowly and once wind pain has completely dispersed I've found it's not returned.... Distant memory.
I've been thinking about avocado and balsamic all day! No fair

Claire you wussbum! Xxx
Everyone manages pain differently. Each surgeon my vary in how gentle/rough they are with the instruments etc. This may cause more tenderness etc. Finding pain relief that works can be trial error and take time too. I was lucky my pain was well managed in hospital allowing me to get mobile quickly. Give yourself a break and don't rush things. Rest and a shed load of meds. Concentrate on getting well enough to give your hubby that testiclectomy!! Lols and hugs x

If/when I do a detox (juicing, etc) my tongue always turns white. It's said that it's the toxins coming out of your body. Not sure if that's the case but it always made me relax about it.

and watered it down 50/50 Yummy slurp ;-p

I'm grand. However I couldn't take Tramadol as they made sick and left me feeling faint. However not on anything now except for bowels. Still having major problems. Just cannot go!!! Anyone got any ideas. Have taken a whole box of Movicol, lactulose with no regular success
 
Ladies I'm glad to gear it not just my period that's started early. Seriously I thought I was having another internal bleed - bring on the melodramatics!!!!!! But no, pounding headache and cramps confirmed that I'm early, blimey nice one Mother Nature, kick us while were down eh!

they let you home with tramadol? lucky duck. i was still on morphine the night before discharge and given a dose of tramadol an hour before discharge but they would only give me paracetamol and a tiny bit of codiene for home. im scared somethings wrong as my stomach bloats around midday and stays uncomfortable the rest of the day everyday in addition to the awful pain at the port site. sick of it. want to feel well and get my little girl home

I love juicing, too! But I can't have the fruit either. I do an odd smoothie but that's about it.
 
Is ur tummy going hard? I know tge surgeon kept checking mine to see if it was still soft. Yes I was the same with the morphine only it and tramadol helped ease it so I told them that. Its rotten tho they taste the dissolvable ones taste of aniseed **boke**

Have u managed many liquids? I got the vanilla slim fasts today and surprised at how yum they are! X
 
yeah it goes solid. only saw surgeon for 2 minutes before surgery. never met him before and didnt see him at all after ( was in 5 days)
tramadol never affected me, was morphine that would send me dizzy and sleepy
