OK, so my op got postponed until the 26th January, but am now exactly 2 weeks past DDay and starting to feel a bit more human. I cannot drink cold Water, it hits my stomach and makes me feel so ill! Am actually beginning to like chicken broth, never thought I would say that. Still have some cravings for normal food, but so far so good. Was in pain for the first few days but am feeling so much better. There obviously is a lot of 'eyes bigger than my stomach' scenarios, even with liquids, this going to take some getting used to. Am losing weight have lost 7kgs so far, so am ecstatic. Starting to go walking now so hopefully will move some more weight. I have to admit I was pretty scared pre-op but now I am over the hill, can see a light at the end of the tunnel and although it was painful, nothing that we can't handle. So worth it.
