not such a good day today

[zns]

Think the post op blues are starting, im feeling really teary and hurty today and like I cant cope with the discomfort anymore :cry:Im struggling to drink everything Im supposed to

 

[dawny]

i remember feeling a bit like this myself hun, it felt a bit like baby blues when i had it, some days i was ok, others i just felt very weepy and alone. someone said its as your fat is melting away, all the hormones that are stored in the fat are let loose in your body, this made some sort of sense to me, and once i could understand it, i felt a little better. dont worry too much about drinking loads, just get a sports bottle or something similar, and have some nas squash in it, it seems to go down a bit better than just water, carry it with you and just keep having little sips, youll get through more than you realise, and that helps you feel a bit better too. i cant really suggest anything else, but someone else will be able to, im sure. the support on here is second to none, as you know, and we are all thinking of you. i really do hope you feel better soon, but what you are f eeling is very normal. make sure you rest, and keep sip sip sipping. big hugs xxx (sorry to waffle on, lol)

Thank you x Really struggling with the wind pains today, im managing my juice but really struggling with the milk. x

 

[ladylite]

Aw big hugs hun. I also had days where I had the blues after the op, the anaestic (sp) does this too you.

Can you not take some pain relief hun.

Why dont you just snuggle up and just rest and just sip sip sip when you can.

Hello sweetie, soldier on with the sipping xxx Best thing to do is to make sure your dosed up for the pain and try and distract yourself from thinking about it. Am sending you some really addictive little mini game links..see if you fancy getting stuck in to some of them xxx This will pass soon

 

[dawny]

have you tried deflatine for the wind pain hun, it is really good, i think its fatmomma who swears by them, other than sometimes warm/hot water can help with wind pain, and i think some take gripe water, also walking around helps as well. i know it dosnt seem like it, but all this will pass,it just seems so rotten when your going through it dosnt it. just keep thinking of how much better your gonna feel in a few days, big hugs xx

Thanks guys.

Ive taken my pain killers just not finding them helpful for the wind pain, the infacol I was given isnt helping either.

I havent finished what I should have had for breakfast yet and havent even thought about starting lunch.

I shall try some of those games Neen thank you x

Ive got some but wasnt 100% sure if I could take it with some of my other medications, couldnt get hold of any one at the hospital yesterday to ask.

Thank you x

No problem love x I think don't worry too much about what you should be having exactly, do your best to have as much as you can without being sick...you don't want to strain yourself or get all uptight today as that will make it even more difficult. Just do what is comfortable and take it easy x

 

[zns]

Thank you.

Have given up on the milk and trying soup, thats going down easier. x

 

[Neen]

Cool just take the pressure off yourself a bit and it will go down easier just because of that. I always get things stuck when I'm uptight even after all this time

 

[zns]

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I shall try and calm down a bit x

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Deflatine made a massive difference to me too... Have you tried heating yr milk up? I had to heat everything up to drink initially used to sit there with cups of hot water!

2 weeks out now & I find I can drink better & cooler. xx

 

[zns]

I havent tried it warm, im not much of a fan of warm milk, might try some peppermint tea though!

Just had some lovely flowers delivered from the inlaws so thats cheered me a bit.

x

 

[ditzeeblonde]

How lovely.... I think flowers always put a smile on peoples faces!

I've been drinking tons of lemon & giner tea thats become my favourite. x

Make sure you have a drink at hand all the time and just take sips when you can. It all adds up. Also, I found that walking - even just from one room to another and back - every half hour, really helped with getting the windypops moving.

It's totally natural to have 'post-op blues' at this stage. I've had them after every surgery I've ever had. As I said to you the other day, I promise that things DO get better. xx

Moving does help it come up a bit lol. I feel a lot more bloated than I have prior to now, not a nice feeling.

Glad to see you back, was everything ok in the end?

Not exactly ok, I have to go back to see the Cardiologist next week. It's possible that I may need to have a heart valve replaced. The good thing is that I would be in a much better position, healthwise, to handle the surgery now. No way am I going to let this little thing stop me though! xx

 

[zns]

Oh no Im sorry to hear that, hope that you get your appointment soon xxx
