Thanks for the list. I'm just going through now what I've already got and what I need to still get. Have you lost much since the op? Although early days so scrub that one I've got the peppermint tea (mmmm?!) I have some Jellys but I have bought some impact diet whey. It says mix with water or milk? What do you reckon? Milk ok? Thanks leedsburr. And how are you feeling? Are you back at work or feel you could or still a little fragile? Sorry for all the questions x

Im not going back to work until the 1st April thankfully

I mix everything with semi skimmed milk to ensure I'm getting the correct fats post op...

I lost 1.5 stone pre op and have lost another .5 since so 2 stone gone in total.

My port side is a bit tender. The wind is disappearing slowly and this morning I woke up laying in port side without any discomfort to my surprise. I think I'm healing really well so far . I know I'm gonna get bored with complan and shakes but I'm so determind to stick with this to the letter...

 

[kissthetoad]

Golly gosh you are doing so well yes I want to follow it to the letter too. Hoping after the op fri I can at least go into work the following Tues (closed Mondays) even if I just sit and watch (I'm self employed so need to be there really although my partner helps out and will be with me). Hope I'm not pushing it too much :/. When do you move onto the next stage? Sloppy? Lol

 

[leedsburr]

Just over 2 weeks to go.... had 3 weeks of liquids...

Still in hospital. it will be a week tomorrow since my bypass. Struggling finding a balance between my medication and liquid diet. Feel full all the time. Now my blood pressure keeps dropping and I have the runs.

Any and all advice would be appreciated.

 

[kissthetoad]

Oh strawberry. I feel for you. You're in the best place tho. Hope it gets sorted soon and you're able to go home. No advice im afraid but I'm sure someone will be along shortly with some words of help xx take care xx

 

[Sharie65]

Know how you feel Strawberry Cow. I was in hospital for over 2 weeks after my by-pass. Was only prepared for 2 nights! Hope they sort your meds out and you get home soon x
