garrymcfall 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Hi Maysh, I'm staying at the Campanile hotel. Purely cos apparently everyone stays there - don't want to be the only banded person at the Crown Plaza! See Garry is getting re-done on the 12th too! I've been taking my Milk Thistle too, but mine is in droplet form so add to a glass of Water three times a day. I don't drink alcohol anyhow so here's hoping my liver shouldn't be too big anyhow. Had porridge for Breakfast, herbal tea at 11, now having a salad for lunch with tuna fish. Oh shine my halo:smile: Its hard going alright, and I'ver certainly slipped up like yourself - mainly with crisps. Its my birthday today and hubby has bought profeterioles for dessert....I'll have one, maybe 2.....oh help:cursing: toppings, yep look forward to seeing you on tuesday, am i right in saying maysh is being done the same day, we will all be fine. gx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will see each other a the hospital, It makes me feel better knowing that I will see someone I know over there.The nerves are begining to set in.....plus not sure if I have everything..Going shopping in a while to get all the last minute stuff. Felling nervous about carrying sooooo much cash as well. G Good Luck... See you on Friday Jackie yeah the cash :-( s'a hell of amount to be carrying about in a strange country :-S My hubby said he'd be more afraid of anyone trying to take that amount of cash from me :-) more likely to require surgical removal!! I didnt go through Fred, i did it all myself, but now wishing i had. didn't even think about taking milk thistle :-( ooooh i so hope my op can be done and my liver is ok.....have had the worst month in so many ways..... i hope i don't get sent packing :-( i'll listen out for an English accent, you listen out for a Scottish one....we're sure to meet up yowzer!!!! not long now x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey with a bit of luck we'll be in the same hospital room. I'm sure someone said that they have four beds to a room. I think I would be like you if anyone tried to take that cash off of me (assuming I could catch them) they'd also be heading for a hospital bed............I got the milk thistle..its in the Holland and Barrett bag in the kitchen...going to take some now. >>I also go the arnica tablets to take. I suppose I should start taking them now as well. I got Anadin liquifast, Remegel and Zantac is there anything else I should be taking!!!!!!!! See you soon Jackie:ohmy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackiem 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Hi Can anyone tell me what I should take to Belgium with me? I got painkillers and some dressings but should I take slimfast and cupasoup. If I should take slimfast did you take ready made or powder (I hate milk) I thought the ready made stuff might taste nicer!!! Any thoughts or suggestions welcome Jackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackiem 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Hi Jackie, I'm finding the low fat diet ok, have had the occasional slip-up but nothing major. I am taking the milk thistle tablets when i remember!!! I didn't get a diet plan to follow but i am vegetarian so most of them don't suit me anyway. How are you feeling?x Hi Maysh I forgot to take the milk thistle tablets so I'm going to start now (better late than never) Trying to be good on the low fat diet but things are getting in the way... My stomache turn every time I think about thursday, I dont really like flying that much and I'm taking my mum with me which I hope isnt a mistake...we get on fine but I think I will worry about her being back at the hotel on her own. ..Its funny, when I booked the op she was the only person I could think of that would come with me. I'm sure all will be well.....I sound like I'm moaning, I'm not, just having a Peggy Panick moment:blushing: Take Care Jackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
