Hope it gets easier as the week goes by, sweets ... put a catheter tube into a bottle in your pocket & just give it a suck now & then to keep your fluids up

It's a juggle & learning curve on top of the existing curve you're already on. Take care of yourself as I know you will. Hugs to you Hun.

I'm lucky I don't work. I'm finding that even I can't find enough time to fit everything you are advised to eat & drink plus the waiting time between drinking & eating. Struggling with getting enough protein & even on a good day can only manage around 1 . 5 litres of fluid.
My other main point is that to make matters worse I do not want to eat (thankfully never ever hungry). Now I've introduced my excercise plan I have no idea where the day goes! Nice weight loss though LOL sure it will become second nature but take my ht of to you who have to work & have children.

Cheryl...I am almost glad you have said that; for the first time since op this afternoon about 4 I thought I felt hungry, I think is was head hunger, not sure though as that's coffee time - and not had that feeling at all at home. I wonder if it's the whole routine thing we have with our breaks made my head think it was time to be hungry! Hope you have a few days off to get over your early xx

Yes ladies i have to agree it is difficultgoing back to work and getting your head round this eating and drinking regime, fitting it all in is difficult at first until you geta routine, my hardest thing is like onion said haed hunger you know its break n you think you should have something to eat. We have split luches at school it either 12.20 to 12.50 0r 1.20 to 1.50. If it the later 1 i struggle cause i like my lunch around 12ish like i would at home not hungry but think should be having it then. The last couple of weeks i have got to work then had a dizzy sweating light headed attack type of dumping i guess, without stomach cramps and diaorrhea, i am luck enough to be based in a room wher we have some soft seating so if it comes on i lie down now til it passes when it starts to improve i have a coffee and a ginger snap and it rights things again. I think it could also be blood sugar, going all night without food then having breakfast don't know wether it goes through so fast my blood sugar just drops or raise not sure but not a nice feeling, disturbs my vision bit as well, boss is only sympathetic when it suits otherwise make you feel like a burden the first timwe it happened she never left her office just shouted if not well go home, what was the point of that when i knew it would pass within half an hour and before the kids came in, just plain nasty she is some days. Never mind i understand how hard it is girls, just have to keep plugging a way at it. xx

Well this morning I have got up earlier so as to have a cuppa before work , so that's 400 mls , then have my yogurt when i get there before I start .
It's not remembering to drink , its opportunity , I can't just nip in the staff room & glug 200ml cup of water like I used to .
Let's see how today goes .

I struggle to get my fluids in even carrying around my juice bottle but I'm trying harder these days.
Chrisa I had & occasionally I still do have those same spells. I agree it's more a blood sugar thing than dumping. I tend to nibble a protein bar & rest at least until my legs feel strong enough to hold me & let me walk to my early morning duty in the canteen. I carry some Brazil's with me to to nibble if the need arises to. As I e managed to eat more through the day but also got into the habit of eating a dry fried cooked breakfast of 2bacon rashers, 1 large egg, a sliced tomato & 3 sliced mushrooms gives me enough of a protein hit to carry me through to break at 11am when I have a banana or satsuma followed by my cup of tea from a thermal safety mug ( so I can safely take it with me into class) it can take 45 mins to finish a cuppa somedays. Lunch is generally at 1-2pm but I have occasionally a lunch duty so have to eat early which in reality I work through to & eat my lunch while on duty all discussed & approved on my back to work chat.
Sorry Cheryl as ever I seem to have hijacked your thread.
