November 2013 Surgeries

Audra think of you Hun hope you having a good weekend . Not long now

Hi Kimberly, how you feeling? That time table was great. I'll be doing one after surgery and had one on milk diet first time round but as I'm an old pro at this milk diet game haven't had too this time. I'm better today definitely got my head in a better place which I needed to with only 10 days to go! X
 
Audra your such a mother hen checking up on all of us xxx I'm doing ok went shopping down Gun wharf keys really early about 0930 walked around for an hour , but needed to rest so had small skinny latte in costa . Ok but worried about being bumped.

I'm having an easier time than other.but then I haven't got little one who are demanding attention. , I have to be very organised when going out making sure I have drink bottle . I' take a laughing cow extra light triangle . Just in case .i get one frozen meal out the night before .
I cook for family and puréed a couple of portions . I just keep thinking gastric diet food so bland english food ,Shepard pies ,roast , casseroles going for fish and cheese sauce tonight . Don't think I'm brave enough to try and cook a curry yet.
Also not sure if I have a low grade urine track infection . Only stinging in the early morning !!! Then it disappears . I phone GP Monday .I'm not losing las much as other 25 days lost 18 Ib .

I know I can't help it. I'm bloody bossy too :) sounds like your doing great. I've got some purée curry in the freezer (very mild!) I think it needs a drip at minimum. If it goes in the day they will probably send a specimen before giving AB's I guess. You seem to have hit a great balance of moving about and resting and doing well with your timetable so don't worry about the weight it's early day (not that you haven't done well anyway!) I bet you suddenly drop over the next couple of weigh ins. Down side of my new surgery date is the day I'll probably come home is The day the kids break up! But the as my hubby is being made redundant the day before surgery at least he will be home ( not for long if I have my way) x
 
Audra your not bossy your maternal and caring . Don't you worry I be on to you after the 17 TH to make sure you are looking after your self . Nurses are really bad patient because they care for every one else and often neglect them self . I'm sorry about your husband redundancy , I hope it turn out alright for you all . The bonus is his home get the baratic sister to tell him your not to do a thing for two weeks or the doctor !!!!!

My daughter who I call matron she really got my number . Shouted at me for hoovering ( yer I know stupid , major plumbing work inside ) she even squealed to her consultant at work who was looking after me I'm ITU .

Ha ha I bet she did! I know we are all the same. Convince people to look after themselves then when it's our turn we try and carry on! NOT this time. Don't touch the bloody Hoover! Oh sorry forgot you have already been read the riot act :) I'll be telling Jason (hubby) he's hoovering for 2-3 mths! Reality is I'll be itching to do it with the kids home. X
 
Hello ladies :)
Yes! I got up late today but had a fromage frais and a pint A PINT! :D of SS milk for brunch! Had a bath with my lil one then danced around the bedroom to the radio for about an hour singing and everything lol Had 3 small mouthfuls of roast pork for an early dinner, tummy said no :( Said goodbye to that. Later on I had 4 bits of crostini and my advent calendar choccie. Sipping nas squash throughout the day then had 1 tbsp rice pudding with saltanas & nutmeg and now im having a weak coffee :) Ive done much better today! :D I am scared though. The more often I eat, the hungrier I seem to feel. Even if it is only a couple teaspoons of food :/

Kimberly, did you buy anything nice in gunwharf?? Was it packed? Were you exhausted by the time you got home?

Audra, your kids will break up from school and you'll have more helpers to bring you tea or coffee, pillows and to change your socks :p Is your cold still present? Any more migraines?
 
glad to see you ate more today flick even though you dont think so right now it will show in the long run

kimberly shopping already i dont intend to leave my house for at least 3 weeks post op just incase

not long now audra hows the head today hoe the migraine has gone or subsided a lot
 
Glad everyone's getting on well. I ate 3/4 of a tin of lentil and carrot soup today and a bowl of mashed broccoli and cauliflower with gravy. Drunk about 3 pints of squash.
Used some glycerine suppositories for constipation today - they are little bullets of joy! Lol :)

Thanks. Sometimes tastes do change though. I've gone off everything sweet. Can't even imagine eating chocolate, cake, sweets, Ice cream and I used to love them all.

We're all here to help each other x
 
Migraines all gone. Feel much better this morning. Up showered and ready for milk. Jumped on scales today and can't believe its day 4 and I've lost 9 lbs!! That's mental!!

Well done for yesterday Flick. Pork can be a tough meat anyway. Slow cooked beef, chicken or turkey are all soft and more chewable. Now just keep it up. Remember how small the amounts you are eating. Stop worrying you are nowhere near being able to "Pig out" on food by any means. Your body is just letting you know your human and so you need to eat to survive. It's going to get easier over time and your learn to trust yourself. X
 
How's it going butterfly are you still leaping along? X

I'm pretty much back to normal in all ways other than eating, my wounds have healed really well, so all in all I'm pretty chuffed :D
 
Glad to see we are all doing pretty well :D Amazing how the time flies really and the operation is becoming more of a distant memory

Hi princess, if your worried contact your dietician and discuss it with them. You have to be positive going into surgery even if your scared. Kimberley is so right. After surgery you have to push yourself to get up and walk with lots of rest in between. We are all in this together! X
