The Raw Truth from the start

[Bella'sBand]

Thanks Lola, thats great info, I will make sure I get some Muller light healthy balance pots in so I am stocked up. Saves me searching and searching the shelves for thin ones

Are you feeling any better now Mimi after a couple of hours sleep? Is the pain getting any easier? Hope so

Bella rather then hunting for watery yogurt etc if u get a smooth yogurt add some skimmed milk it does the same or get the smooth pouring yogurt xxx

Been in so much pain today asking myself why did I do this.

You won't be saying that when you're wearing size 12 clothes and your losing 3lb week after week! We've all thought the same whilst recovering so don't let it put you off! I think we lose sight of the fact we are having major surgery as we are so carried away with the notion of IM HAVING A BAND this time next week you'll have turned the corner x

You will feel that little bit better tomorrow. Day two and three were evil for me, but I never regretted it. We will be chuffed to bits when we have shed a few stone. it really does get easier. On day three I did ask on here if the pain I was in was right because it hurt alot. Then it soon picked up. Hope you feel better tomorrow. ?

 

[mimi42]

Thank u everyone still in a lot of pain and I'm really hungry and weak.Hubby making me a milky coffee .
I feel so sick .

 

[mimi42]

Had a call from THG to see how I was getting on.must keep drinking and moving around

 

[lolalou]

Lucky you! I think they thought I've got so skinny I fell down a drain outside the hospital. Not one call. :-/ I'm three weeks out and feel great, just one of my scars is itchy as hell. Take that as consolation, you might feel ropy now but it gets much better. Are you managing your fluids? I need to drink more. Especially when it's this warm!

 

[mimi42]

A tiny bit better today hurts when I move a bit.
I need to drink more but feel so full after just a few mouthful

 

[JO28172]

Getting any better yet?

 

[mimi42]

Not to bad today Jo been taking pain killers and doing myself some mushroom soup at the mo.
Thanks.

 

[JO28172]

Is the pain still quite bad then? I'd stopped needing the tablets by day 3 think it was. It'll all be worth it

 

[mimi42]

Yes last night I got up and a shooting pain went through my tummy its ok now but was very painful .

 

[lolalou]

This does sound normal Mimi, but if you do worry ring the hospital. In general I'm in no pain but last night I got off the sofa fast and felt a slight sharp pain in my tummy, think it takes a while for everything to settle but the main pain eases every day and after about five or six days it is manageable quite easily. I went to the Harry potter tours and walked about for four hours on day four with just paracetamol. Not as fast as normal. But much better. I went for a long walk on day four because it was my birthday and we went to an event that was already planned, and that was a bit much, could feel like a pulling sensation in my tummy. Give dolan park a ring though if it gets too much.

 

[mimi42]

Thanks Lola I've had some of my soup which is gorgeous so feeling a bit better.

 

[lolalou]

Ooh mushroom soup sounds nice. You will soon be on the sloppy stage. Yum!! I'm just warming up my homemade cauliflower curry

 

[rose2022]

mmmm, cauliflower curry sounds lovely!!! will need the recipe for that one!! lol xx

 

[lolalou]

I am a throw everything in cook! It was caulifower steamed till soggy as I'm on the purée stage then I fried red and white onion and carrot in a few sprays of fry light, added a tin of plum tomatoes, and lots of cherry tomatoes as they were going soare! a few spoon fulls of curry powder and kept tasting till I got the spice right. Then I put a bit of milk in because it got too spicy!! Was yum. That made six small dishes. X

Veg curry always a great fat free staple to munch on, I've ate thru tubs of it in times of need (greed) so long as you don't go adding cream
