I had my op on the 1 st of July . Things hadn't gone well , felt terrible 24 hrs after my op , doctor n anethatist came back to see me I was cold n clammy , was took down for a ct scan , we're they wanted me to drink a pint of barium , not possible so drunk as much as I felt comfortable with. Also had to go for an X-ray as I had a chest infection . Then was taken back to surgery because I had 4 litres of blood in the bottom of my stomach which had to be sucked out ! . I was not good for a couple of days !!! All this time all I could think was what have I done !!! But all the nurses kept on reassuring me everything would be fine. NOW I have changed my attitude towards it and I'm now glad I've had it done . But I just need to ask what people are eating !! Went to the hospital for my first check up yesterday n wanted to speak to the nutritionist to be told she's on holiday for the next three weeks ! So can anyone please advise ! I seem to have stuck at the same weight for the last week n a half ! N is it 2 litre of water a day including teas n coffees cos this May be where I'm going wrong , just need to talk to someone , n clarify a few things .the doctor yesterday said he was pleased with the weight I'd lost so far n says he expects about a stone a month now cos it will slow down ?
