November 2014 Surgeries

Just one more. Most of the other days I was in the zone. Not liking it but doing. Just today it's been a pain but only one more day.

Totally understand the cheeseburger! And obviously your liver was just fine :0)
 
just hang in there. I promise u, dispite the discomfort im currently in it is soooo worth it. I truly feel I have got my life back. u r nearly there and if u do have a bit of a wobble (like my cheese burger) make sure u factor it in.(try not to though, I was naughty but knew it wud be ok as literaly barely ate for 2 days).
good luck to u both for wednesday.x

No yo-ing back! Have decided that will be my diary thread when I start it. Here are a few words from me having been bypassed on Friday at 6pm! As you know the fabulous IMac and I had each other for company, she was 4 th on the list and I was the last man standing at no 5. Luckily our rooms were next door - fate! We had a few giggles before hand trying to lighten each other's mood. Mainly at my expense I may add as I put the gown on as a wrap dress rather than the obvious way! It didn't occur to me to put it on frontwards! Anyway I digress! A long wait but finally..... Down to theatre at 6.15pm and back on the ward for 10pm. Struggled with the effects of anaesthetic but my first words were "is it done?" And indeed it was :) I didn't do particularly well post op just couldn't shake effects of anaesthetic and first night was rough to say the least ! Lovely kind nurse looked after me well - Florence (I kid u not). Unfortunately the day after I was still unable to tolerate any fluid so I wasn't able to go home despite iMac lifting my spirits and heading off on her merry way (looking great I may add) Home Sunday at 3pm feeling much better and defo feeling out the other side now so it's all good news. It's still very early days but after a shaky start I'm making good progress. Yes I still have some pain but it is bearable. Even when I felt like I had been run over thru the middle, being sick and my pelvic floor giving up all at the same time I haven't yet thought I made a mistake ! Lots of luck to this November group for everyone pre or post op. Ps managed 1 1/4 litres of fluid today. !

Great pic Jess! Glad you and Mrsg both came through it safe and sound. Sorry to hear you had a rough time tho mrsg I very nearly lost it with the LSD today. Soooo close to breaking it. Woke up a 5am desperate for chocolate and I knew where hubby and oldest had hidden it! But had yogurt. Rang hubby in the middle of the day to find someone to convince me to stay true. He suggested soup and actually worked. Even picked out the potatoes in the weight watchers chicken potato and leek soup! Am just paranoid about that fat liver lol. Now just one more day to go it will be esurely hope.

Woo we're getting through the list.
Ok for me its day 5 , counting day of surgery as day 1 and I've woken up feeling human. In fact I cant believe how well I'm feeling. My emotions are up and down like a rollar coaster but apparantly that is usual post op. Physically I feel much stronger today and seem to have shook off the total exhaustion. My diet is tea, water, hot chocolate and soup. I bought slimfast but am struggling to tolerate them even diluted.
So Maggy and Purplepippa9 good luck for tomorrow - thinking of you both. It will be over before you realise.
jib5686 I'm glad you are going home - take it easy
with love x
