Hi Eggbat,

I've learned over the last 2 weeks just how tired you get when you're not eating properly! The good news is it's easy to fix. All you have to do is sort out your eating and you will feel much better. Try using an online food diary like Food Focus - Permanent Weight Loss and aim for 75-80g protein, 35-40g complex carbs and 1000cals per day.

I would check on the blood tests just in case.

Glad to see you around again Eggbat, was wondering how u were doing. Im still pre-op but have had funding agreed, and am just waiting to hear from musgrove or nuffield with appointment for surgeon. What kind of troubles have u had hun? Hope you're feeling more energetic soon. What about a good old fashioned tonic from the chemist?

hi djbp98 when i had my op all was fine but i had a considerable amount of bleeding which was quite distressing for me at the time also because of the bleeding i had to stay in hospital for a week which although everyone was really nice and tryed their best i did not enjoy the experiance at all
