Wow Leeds!!!
That's fab. Wonder if I can do that well. If your worried about toilet go to the GP and get prescribed Laxido it's great . I been already but I was taking them daily up until the surgery, so if you need the toilet stuff laxido or trying to think of the other babe for it.... But it's much better than lactulose which I was prescribed before ( only reason I know is being in long term pain killers for my hand my vowels are so messed up and the laxido sachets are the only thing that work)

Good luck guys and dolls xxx
 
good to see everyone is doing as well as can be at various stages i have laxido though they dont work so well for me think when i go post op might have to try something else
 
Are u just taking one sachet a day?

Coz I take two sachets every morning and that's worked really well, u need to find an amount that keeps you regular xx
 
Hi Everyone, I havent been on for a couple of days but glad to say bypass is all done am back home and feel fab.

So sorry for you peeps that is having a bad time. I must be one of the lucky ones, havent had a problem yet and hope it stays this way. I came form hospital yesterday after eating porrige for brekkie and sunday roast for lunch (pureed mind!). Had some wind pain but just keep moving and it all comes out lol both ends eughhh!

Happy it all over and cant believe how fab I feel, its as if i havent even had amjor surgery apart from the bullet holes lol. I have had caulflower cheese last night and having lasagne and a dinner for lunch and tea tonight.
The only thing that is worrying me slightly is I think I may be undereating. the hossie said to eat til I feel full but I am not sure what that feels like anymore, if that makes sense. I am scared to eat too much and be sick so I am taking the softly softly approach and eating slowly but not sure if it is enough!

Oh and another thing I have lost 8lb since last thursday so exactly stone since pre op diet.

I am happy at the mo and hope this gives hope to those that are still pre op that not everyone has issues after the op.

Take care everyone, I will be bk on soon xxxx
 
Yeay...well done. I don't feel like I had surgery either!

Hi Strawberry, Sunderland have you on water for a day then straight into puree diet for 4 weeks. I am eating four to six small meals a day.

I have had porrige for brekkie today, i am having fish in sauce for lunch and chicken supreme for tea. In between I am having milky coffees and loads of NAS squash. I am a little unsure if i treat the milk as food - protein, or as a liquid though. I am just getting to grips with the whole thing. So at the moment i am treating the coffee as a snack inbetween meals. I am going to ask the dietician tho when they call this week.

My hubby thinks I eating too much but obv these portions are very small it just seems i am constantly having to get something in! lol........ he just jealous lol

i havent been poorly and have lost a little weight so I must be doing something right. xx
 
Thanks for that Joanne. I'm still on liquid only. Spoke to the hospital today because I feel so weak and light headed. They don't think I'm having enough nutrients so I'm just waiting for the dietitian to call.

Aww Sorry Strawberry, I dont know why it is so different all over the country! I cant see a reason for not eating puree...... as long as it got no lumps I eat it lol.

And this may be too much info but i had my first poo today too whoop! At least I know now that my mouth connects to my butt lol......... some people would say literally lol xx

Ask your dietician if you can eat purees and why is it only liquid? x
 
Chichester start u on pureed for 4 weeks. I think everywhere has their own guidelines.
I don't know if I have lost weight...weigh day Saturday!
 
I only know cos my pyjamas fell down lol so must have lost some. I am tryin not to be the habitual weigher so have decided to weigh myself every sunday when i do my pics.

I weighed last sunday and had lost 8lb since the day before the op. hopefully it wont keep as quick as that, its scary but i know it will slow down once i eating properly again. i dont mind.

Good Luck Slimby, i am sure you will get quite a shock when you do weigh, its amazing xx
