Yesterday's Op

[rockyracoon]

Well, it all went successfully. I've had my first meal in 36 hours and what a delicious bowl of Weetabix it was. Leaving hospital in a bit.....let the box sets begin

[rockyracoon]

Togo. Will you have dietary restrictions after the op? I can't have meat or bread for 6 weeks. Not sure how I'll cope without bread. At least I'll lose some weight.

[ummmm]

Have you been watching 'in the line of duty'?

[Togo]

Not sure about those details yet Rocky, but I am led to believe that after a bit of initial care a normal diet is possible. At the mo I am treading hot coals and have had no cheese for 6 months. I have always had a very low fat diet so that has not been a hardship, but mushy peas, curry, shortcrust pastry, amongst other things, gives me 5 hours agony and always at night. I am craving cheese constantly like Benn Gunn from Treasure Island. :))

Hopefully, you'll be able to enjoy those foods again.

Ummm, yep, they're very good.

I echo everyone else. Glad your op. is over rocky - do as you are told and I'm sure you'll recover quickly.
Very good luck with yours Togo, thinking of you.
xx to both

[Togo]

I am hoping that Rocky is now home and settled. I am sorry for pinching a little of your thread Rocky, I didn't mean to. When I am called for op I will post my own heads up, but thank you well wisher anyway with Rocky's assent.

[rockyracoon]

Post away, Togo. I hope your op comes round soon.

[Togo]

You OK Rocky? Are you now home and finding your feet? I do hope so.

[mallyh]

glad to hear all went well xx

[rockyracoon]

Came home yesterday, Togo. I feel a bit uncomfortable and the sensation when I eat is very strange, that and the knowledge of knowing what's coming after, so to speak. Any pain seems to be controlled by paracetamol, so that's good.

To be honest, I underestimated how much the procedure would take out of me, I feel like a little old lady at the moment.

I just hope it was all worth it.

[Togo]

Yeah any op that involves anesthetic takes it out of you, even local anesthetic. Rest and recuperation is all that cures it, and doing it a little at a time without pushing yourself.
