got my stitch out today.

i know this sounds strange but i'm assuming the port scar is the scar beside the one where the drain was.

i can't feel mine.

saying that i'm prob not poking to much cos its still a bit tender

hi honey your port is normally on your left side at the bottom of your ribs i think it's the biggest scar happy prodding lol

hi slinky,

I am just 3 days away from my new journey. I am so excited not even scared just want to go and have it done!!!

Of course it would've been so easy if for once I had no complications... My flight was cancelled due to aer lingus strike, I managed to rebook it but less convenient time but what can you do, these things are beyond our power.

I emailed Frederik because he is back to work as normal I also contacted Bridget in europesurgery to let the hotel and taxi driver know about changes. when things like that one happen I always start thinking 'maybe it wasn't meant to be' maybe this is a message, sign for not doing it.but I am going to stick to my plan get rid of the cold feet feeling and change my life.

I actually feel much better now after I told all my worries.

I'll let you know how everything went and try to keep in touch with you and all here. I am sure I will need plenty of support, advice...

keep fingers crossed for me on friday.

You'll be fine. are you going alone or bringing someone with you?

I'm 2 weeks since my op now and can hardly believe i was only 2 weeks

you are sore the first day btu then its not bad at all. if you are sore ask for painkillers. they put up a little magic drip that kills the pain and helps you fall asleep

i was sitting in the hotel watching indiana jones the following day

and now 2 weeks later i'm a stone down ...yay

good luck will be thinking of you x

well done hun. I'm going next month for my first fill. Still on the liquids. Can't tolerate anything else really. When did you start eating something else other than liquids? I can manage some Cereal too but not much else

not too bad hun that last fill seems to have done the trick up till now lol can only have wee bits of food, hopefully the weight will start comming off now yay xx

[dubgirl2010 0]

Wow well done. A stone already?? I'm 4kg down when I last checked on Friday. Are you going for a fill in Feb? Good luck blondy. It's painful but will be worth it once you're back on your feet

Oops didn't see your message. I've managed to keep mine a secret too. Don't know how you have been able to. You should get a job with the secret service. Oh I've had that pain too when I tried to eat a bit of mash.

This pain I'm having is a lovely addition to that and comes at random times. I actually thought my lung had punctured the other day. The pain was that sharp it caught my breath. I emailed Fred and will be getting my fill next month so will discuss it with them if I still have it. I'm still on the Soup and the mushy cereal is ok at times too. Congrats again on the weight loss. That's fantastic xx

Hey

i'm good. i started a bit of mushy diet.

scrammbled eggs are fine and i would have thought a bit of fish would be ok really soft and in a sauce but it just blocks straight away!

being not the quitter i tried it again and same thing. horrible feeling stabbing pain not sure if thats the same as you're having or not. i'm hoping not to repeat the experience.

so sticking to yougurt, liga (baby food), soup and eggs,

dunno what to mush up next.

smoothies are nice. they are coffee are my new going out treat. i have also managed to keep my op a secret....so far anyway lol

i still have my stich couldn't get off work to make an appointment, and didn't have a little stich remover here, so today i get rid of that

keep in touch

Well today I experienced my first 'stuck' moment and it wasnt good I have been fine on solids until I tried tuna.......OMG I thought I was going to die lol and I was at college in the cafe, was trying to hide my pain it was awful! Had a wiggle about and a sip of coke and that seemed to sort it out but its safe to say I will not let tuna into my life again lol! I still feel like I have some restriction even though its just the 1 fill ive had, I am eating more but still not as much as I could manage before the band...well no where near that amount lol!

I am struggling with food I can take to college for lunch, anyone got any idea? Would cous cous be ok?

Thanks

xx
