That's interesting. A pre-pre-op diet so the pre-op diet satisfies more. Just had my first protein shake for breakfast. Yum yum.

Haha yes in so many words although it was part of my pre op diet. I had slim fast but due to problems with large amount of lactose etc I've come off it. How was it?

Apologies for raising a *toilet issues* so early in the day... BUT

Is anyone else on the preop food or non food, finding that they are constipated already?

I'm day 7 today. Will take a Ducolax tonight as I don't want a repeat of today. Pain. Enough said.

I was on 2 slimfasts and a meal for a couple of days. I was also taking Morphine, which constipates. The combination was so severe that it took me almost 20 minutes to go to the bathroom, it got a bit bloody and the pain lingered for hours.

Could you not eat more fruit to help with movement along with weetabix

I took a laxative - I used hard sugar free sweets - have enough of them and they have the effect.

You must have been upset about that, after all the preparation, how long will you be on the special diet

It's horrible ain't it they changed the date befor from 4th June to 23rd June then went on 23 rd they even gave me my pre meds aswell then told me there was not enough beds just hope it don't happen again next week when have you got yours ?

Is so disorganised the system, they forget they are dealing with people who surprising have lives and other commitments. Things like the child care and work. We are not all sitting at home on our own waiting around for them. It should be better organised. I hope that mine goes according to plan when I get a date because if not I know my work will not be happy , I'm already under the pressure of redundancy so any excuse they will use it. Hope everyone else has an easier time

I hope they go ahead and no more delays or obstacles are put in your way!!

I'm a big believer in 'everything happens for a reason' and 'what's for you won't go by you'.

Good luck in the preop. xxx

On the second day of pre-op protein shakes. To say I'm not craving solids is an understatement. Have looked at food but not eaten it - try to drink a glass of dilute NAS squash or diluted flavoured water whenever I have strong cravings. Stomach is angry and me and the protein drinks are passing though too quickly.

 

[NorthamptonGirl]

Not having anything solid is horrible isn't it

Welcome rachlou, so sorry to hear your op was cancelled, be positive that this time it will all go ahead as planned. I do Hope so, I have the childcare issue and work etc also, such a pain to sort out !

I think we are all doing really well and we should be proud of ourselves !!

Have a good day one and all WE CAN DO THIS !!!!
