I'm really suprised at how quickly my tummy both inside and outside is healing. Its now 3 days after my surgery and I am almost back to feeling normal. Still have a little difficulty bending down but much easier now getting up out of a chair and out of bed. Managed to sleep on my side for a little while last night, and I am sure the anesthetic is out of my system now. No more goose bumps and burning sensations sweeping through my body. My trousers are feeling a little slacker:laugh: so alll in all pretty good! I was quite active yesterday. I have a guest house and had visitors last night so lots to do yesterday I did some ironing and washing, struggled to use the hoover but my friend helped me out bless her! Cooked breakfast for 8 people this morning without any problems. Three of my scars have scabbed over already so I'm gonna start rubbing Bio Oil into them once they are clear and smooth. This is great for scar tissue and should help almost eliminate the little scars. Still not seen my port wound as I cant take the dressing off until 2morro.

If its anywhere near as small as the others I will be over the moon! Its hard getting the calories down, so I bought some Complan yesterday and will have 2 glasses a day (500 cals) Was a little concerned intially at how much I would be able to drink in one go, but have had no problems so far. Even managed to watch my friend eat FISH + CHIPS last night without crying! This is where my band is going to be my best friend. If I had been on a normal diet I would have had 'a night off' and also eaten fish and chips but not last no night no sir I was strong and I learnt how to get a long with my band la la la la la tra LA LA LAAAAAAaFealing really positive and up beat
