not sure to be honest.
last few days I have felt like crap almost everytime I eat anything(just had cheese and pineapple sandwich and strangly enough am ok) it goes back to Saturday I had what I thought was going to be chicken and corn soup but it was chowder extremely creamy and dreadfully rich and I was ill for hours afterwards and pretty much ever since. Ialso have had these stupid pains in my head (had them before surgery) SHARP pains in right side of head above my ear only last a few seconds but horrid and painful been to GP and she said might be my neck out going to pysio on Friday which in itself is fine casue my neck is always sore but cant see that is why I am getting the pain in my head.
Tired all the time. Did bugger all today went with my friend for lunch was her b/day then went to laundrette to dry some washing weather has been dreadful and then home and I fell asleep in my chair watching the news. God tomorrow I am on the go from 9 till late have a meeting tomorrow night so cant see me home b4 10 and I will be whacked.

doing ok
I still get a bit woozy but have been told that could last for a few months.
Today is the first time I am going to drive I just havent felt confident (not saying I feel any more confident today but I have to do it some time)
Have been for some lovley walks went to Sumner on Saturday with some WLS girls. was a glorious day and so warm the sea looked so nice. We had a coffee then wnet our seperate ways (this is going to be a weekly walk) Then we met at Dee for a delish meal...she made chicken and corn soup then beef goulash and cauliflower mash and potatoe gratin and then jelly and fruit salad...all in little WLS sized bowls it was all very nice and company was nice. We also watch a couple of programs that Deb had taped from some American series. We left about 10.30...got home to find I was locked out gggrr sneaking around trying to wake Alan in the freezing cold I wasnt impressed.
I wore my outfit I bought in aussie(I wore it to the Linen Conference but didnt feel at all comfortable in it cause it clung to every roll and flabby bit. But on Sat night I felt really good in it and yeah it still clung alittle to my hips but was WAY looser, I also wore sandles with heels and topped it all off with my black coat which I havnet worn for 2 winters AND I FELT LIKE A QUEEN got lots of beautiful compilments.
Got visitor arrived so will get back to this later

Well this afternoon has been another rollercoaster of a ride. I am just back from the doctors(my gp this time) Had another fainting session just b4 Alan went back to wrk after lunch so promised him I would make an appointment...we decided that maybe I can cut some of me meds down-so cut out my fluid retention pill altogether,after all I have ankles again and cut my bl/pressure pill in half. While they were taking my standing bl/pr I was near to passing out-felt bloody queer. my bl/pr was 128/78 which is pretty darn good for someone who had a bl/pr 195/98.
Also got a high five from doc as to the latest weight loss.
Need to be more vidulant with my food timetable I am not eating when and what I am suppose to be. I am drinking plenty of fluid but a glass of cold water hasn't got the punch SO FOLLOW THE PROGRAM.
A warning to me and too those yet to have there surgery.

THIS A COPY OF A POST I PUT ON THE TRADE ME WLS MESSAGE BOARD
WARNING WARNING WARNING
Think it was Rosie asked if there was anything that were surprises and unexpected. Well boy have I got a story for you all.
As I said in my last post last night I hadnt had any pain relief so had my normal liquid panadol as usual. But a couple of hours later I was in some real discomfort and pain so got up walked around thinking wind but nothing shifted. So had one of the other painkillers perscribed by surgeon when needed.
DONT DONT DONT DONT
Sat up for about 20 mins just to make sure I didnt react to them huh. felt a bit woozey so headed to kitchen had a drink of water and back to bed...recall falling against hall wall (bruise on right temple). Next I knew albeit very foggy, was Mum leaning over me Felicity Felciity what has happened...I tried to reasure her I was ok...in the distance I could hear Alan talking to 111. I rolled to my side cause I was flat on my back into the recovery postion and had no intentions of trying to get up...mum put a pillow under my head, covered me with a blanket and a bucket cause I was feeling sick cold and sweating. I knew I had had the pill etc but when first coming too didnt know where I was etc.
Ambulance came I was still very groggy and out there but not as bad but it was decided to Public Hospital for me. what an effort to get me off the floor and onto the stretcher, but the ambulance boys were absolutley fantastic not any oh god this fat tart or anything. Getting me out of the flat was another challenge but it happened (glorious starry night well early morning by then cause it was after 1 I think) in ambulance checked my vitals again although improved a little still not perfect. Did the normal checks along way any pain etc I siad my neck and shoulder was sore and I felt sick again. So stop and put a neck brace on and anti nausea stuff yuk that on an empty tummy is vial. Alan was following in car so I was worried if he seen the ambulance had stopped he would be panicing.
got to hospital VERY nice nurse (Stevie) she and others tended to me and eventually a doctor came just on four but by then by back neck bum knee and anything else had started hurting from lying flat on my back on the hard bed.
The brunt of it is I am ok other than bruised on my right temple and and left forehead. And jolly tired
The verdict: the pill perscribed from surgeon is a tad strong when have had nothing except fluid for a week (in reality preop wasnt hell of a lot of bulk either)
Panic over but feel like s***.
A coninciedence there was an other lady a cubical or so along from me had by pass same day as I did and in for similar reason..she took the pain releif for shoulder pain
So please GALS AND BOYS still to have ya surgery BE VERY AWARE of the Medications whether perscribed or otherwise that u take we r very vounerable

week two
post op into week two
doing well, feeling pretty good, still tired sometimes-went for a lie down at 11.30 woke about 1pm. Had visit from my aunt which was nice then after she left Alan and I went for a drive shot over to pick up a parcel from post office(letter box to small for the mail) Countdown for bread and milk type grocery items then over other side of town to pick up a trade me deal for Alan some work boots and home thru peak traffic so a long ride home. Silly me didnt think to take a drink bottle so need to get some fluid back into me.
Most of my sticky tape is off my incisions and they r looking great. Some cant even see where they r already...bruising is starting to go a pretty shade of yellow.
Cant wait to go to the surgeons on Tuesday to see what the scales say would like to think I have a 10k loss but will take what ever. My feet and legs and hands are SO thin not a speck of water retention to be seen most of swelling in tummy has gone and I am sure I can feel a thinner area in my back area.
Sitting at the dinner table tonight while Mum and Alan were eating a scrummy looking meal of Corned Silverside, mustard, cabbage, carrots and onion white sauce I sat drinking my cup of homemade vege and chicken soup it was delish too. Still coping with the fluids ok.
Tomorrow we r heading over to Riccarton tomorrow to make a payment on my layby at TS14+ (funny tommorrow they have a sale starting how coninsudental that I should need to go tomorrow hehehe)then a warrant (much overdue warrant) for my mighty rav registration is due on the 6th.
