One more step over with!

[Mixman]

Had my 24 staples removed from my 6 incisions today!

As with everything else so far, wounds were perfect, no dressings needed. Just told to air them and let them dry out! Brilliant

Pinched very slightly when taking them out but not painful!

That's lovely. I expect you were a bit nervous! Now you can get on with being 'normal'. Brilliant! Mxx

good thing you didnt go near any magnets! They glued me - funny how different hospitals do things in a different way! Onwards and slimwards!

Next stage is the 30th. I have a hospital appointment with Dr Ackroyd and the team.

I'm probably going to get weighed!

Mum still doesn't think I'm eating enough! All I had yesterday was half a Weetabix for breakfast, a Slimfast shake for lunch and a little bit of tinned mince and onion with some mash. But I couldn't eat all that!

 

[Caroline101061]

I get the same from my mum - used to be 'you arent eating enough' now its 'eat more' LOL

Think if you can bear to get a slimfast smoothie in between lunch and dinner and one between breakfast and lunch (have half and half) it might not be a bad idea. Also keep your water levels up. Wait till you get to the stage where you dont have any appetite!

 

[Mixman]

I do drink a fair amount now. At least 3 pints a day of water. Not like the 2 litres I've been advised!!

I really don't feel the urge to eat either! I think this op has definitely affected me pyschologicaly as well as physically!

Well mixman I'm gald the staple removal was'nt too painful for you. Great the wounds have healed well too. Good luck with seeing Mr Ackroyd at your post op appointment. I did'nt get to see him, I got Liz the specialist nurse but she's just as good so I did'nt mind.
