Well done all of you recent surgery peeps. I'm feeling like a real oldie as it will be one week later today
Drinks - I now sip without thinking and can drink a full cup of tea, I cant cope with coffee but am having occasional latte. I've had 2 slim fast and one cup a soup today plus tea with milk and water so am managing around 2 litres of fluid
Toileting habits - am pleased to say no constipation but loose stools and regular wees !! Too much info
Wind/ Pain - only in shoulders, more like a dull throb rather than acute. In one week post op only needed pain relief once, have benefitted from a heat pad
wounds -dressings off and all healing nicely. There is more bruising from my injections than from surgery !!
Hunger I've not felt at all but I do keep wanting to eat "solid" food, this is after years of yo-yoing VLC liquid diets. I did chew a tiny bit of pasta bake then spat it out after tasting it !!
I honestly cannot believe how well I'm feeling and how quickly I have recovered from the surgery. today was my last anticoagulant injections and I'm planning to ditch the embolism stockings tomorrow
Maggy, Purplepippa9 and Mizkirsty take it very easy and I hope you are feeling fitter and stronger.
and especially thinking of the remain Novemberers........xx
