It is frustrating. The problem is that the different departments don't communicate properly. I work there in pathology and it is a good hospital but we see lack of communication on a daily basis. Emily is good at sorting stuff out, but she is obviously limited in what she can do. Hope you get sorted soon Poppsicles x

 

[poppsicles]

Yeh it's just not fair really she wanted me in on 1st may then the 8th now unsure just down to bloody endocrine lol grrrrr x

 

[Madcatwoman]

It should move quite quickly once you've seen endocrine. I rang Mr Cheruvu's sec once I'd been but she wouldn't give me a date so I emailed Emily. The following day I got a date , then a week later they brought it forward 3 weeks and I had to start my LSD immediately, in fact I missed the first 2 days! You will get there, I know they are keen to get patients through, they want to be one of the leading bariatric centres in the country. They will need to be better organised before that happens in my opinion!!

I wish I was excited Terrilou! It would be easier to deal with. I'm tired all the time, I've got headaches, yesterday I had a dodgy tummy, so took some Imodium to get to my pre op and ended up with stomach pains which I guess was constipation!

I think this is mentally how I'm dealing with the worry. I really want to be looking forward to it, but I'm just scared.


On the bright side, I spoke with surgeons PA and I'm due to go down first, so I don't have long to worry!

 

[poppsicles]

Yes that's what miss rotundo wants me in ASAP my original endo was nxt week but they cancelled it I've got MRI scan nxt wk I've ad pre op assess done just sittin round waiting for these fools lol gonna give Emily a ring at lunch see what she suggests x

 

[terrilou]

Have you tried Dulcoease? It's not the laxative one, it's just a softener, may make things easier. The headaches usually go off after about 3 or 4 days of a very low calorie diet, once you get into ketosis. Once you are in ketosis, you know your liver will be shrunk enough for the op. xx

 

[Juicy Lucy]

Good luck today Trish! You are probably there and gowned up now. Be brave and remember this is the start of a successful weight loss journey!

We will see you on the other side!!
Xx

 

[terrilou]

Good luck Trish, will be thinking of you today. xx

 

[nuttyblond]

Good luck Trish see you on the other side x

 

[samp24]

good luck Trish, let us know when you're all done.

 

[princess4d4]

Good luck trish saving a seat on the bench

 

[nuttyblond]

Any ideas my lovely people please.. on liquid diet and my brain is starving. Can smell food a mile away and can't yet distinguish if I am hungry as still too much air gurgling around which reminds me of empty stomach feeling. I have found options white chocolate hot drink good for a sweet craving but can't rely on that for nxt 1.5wks!! I am not allowed yoghurt or jelly btw. Thanks xx

 

[terrilou]

Morning Nutty, I had about 4 teaspoons of yoghurt yesterday, I think as long as it's smooth, it should be fine. Had half a tin of soup for lunch, have you had soup yet? xx

 

[princess4d4]

Try soups with no bits tea coffee nas squash smooth yogurt mixed with milk so it becomes like a shake

 

[Mandijayne]

Good luck with today's surgery!!

Nutty I had some thin custard made with sweetener. It wash really lush also chicken cuppa soups made with hot milk instead of water. It does get easier. I'm onto mushy/purée now. X

 

[nuttyblond]

Oooh thanks for the suggestions. I have got some coconut and lime nas squash from tesco and it definitely makes water better and is sweet and fresh tasting. Im going to try the custard thing too hopefully that will kill the sweet urges. Tomorrow I'm going to make some home made soups which will taste better than shop ones x
