Thinking of you weegie. Please update us as soon as you're able to xxxx

Ladies my fluid intake is soo low. I think I'm only managing 50ml of water a day. I want to drink more but every time I drink I get a lot of pain in my lower abdominal. Is this the gas pain? How can I relieve the pain? I really want to drink more as I'm currently only on liquids and 50ml everyday is not going to cut it. Please help me

Hi Jay
On only 50mls you are going to get dehydrated which will be making you feel unwell. Please ring the ward up and ask their advice. I am on puréed foods as well as about 1l of fluid and it does make a difference. You poor thing, please get advice. Take care xxxx

Hi Lozer. Welcome! It's great to have you join us. It's great to see that you're doing well. I can totally sympathise as I have a 4 year old, 2 year old and an 8 month old. I feel really guilty that I can't pick her up and that I can't do the normal things a mum can right now. How are you coping with that?
I also don't feel too good inside and out. Can I ask how you was feeling 4 days post op? Please tell me it does get better

I was very tired and didn't feel great and was very guilty not being able to do much with the kids. But by day 7 I felt much better. And day 10 I'm picking up baby and playing with the kids. Made a cake and cookies with my 4year old. I was not at all bothered by not being able to eat it. I get a pain in my chest if I forget and drink to fast or eat to fast but other then that I'm pain free.

Thank you jackie. I might just do that. I'm usually such a bubbly cheery person with a very high pain threshold so this is all new to me physically as well as emotionally. I'm going to call the ward and see what advise they can offer. Thank you hun for everything, you're always there to help xxx
How are you feeling today?

Wow Lozer you seem to be doing great. Wow day 10 you picked up your baby? I was told I wouldn't be able to do so for a month. Is that taking a toll on your scar wounds or are you absolutely fine? Sorry I have 101 questions and not ashamed to humble myself and ask those that are doing better than me. I hope you don't mind lol. Are you able to do other things such as bathe the children, change nappies etc without any pain? You've given me hope, I just hope I'll be as pain free as you on day 10

Hi Jay
Please do, it's not worth it is it? A simple phone call could put your mind at rest, Let me know what they say. I am fine, wounds are a bit uncomfortable but not too bad. Take care Jay xx

They never said anything about picking him up. I just feel well enough to do it. No scars r pretty much healed just abit scabby. It doesn't hurt to lift him so assume its ok ? I don't mind no that I no much lol it's nice to have others to talk to who have been through the same. Yeah I've done it all for them as felt up to it. i dont have any pain. Don't push your self tho take all the time u need. Plus u have one more then me! Haha

Ohh ok. Lol I was told not to lift anything heavier than a litre jug of water for a whole month! I have tried to hold her and the best that i could do was just cuddle her from in her walker. I felt so bad. I guess i'm going to use this week to focus on getting better so that I am able to do all those things by day 10 hopefully.

All packed and ready for my op tomorrow, feeling so nervous all kinds of crazy thoughts running through my head. Not looking forward to saying bye to the kids in the morning, my eldest 3 are excited for me and the younger 2 don't understand, just hoping the house survives without me lol. Looking forward to seeing how much weight I've lost on the lsd.
Congrats to all who have already had surgery, wishing you all a speedy recovery xxxx
