Morning and sorry for starting with such a crap pun but its very interesting: to me at least, that I haven't passed a stool now for over 48 hours. For some people such as CBH that's not unusual, for me, it is very much so. I suppose I put it down to being off solids at the moment. Give it time and I suppose something will pass in the end....
Well rewinding somewhat to yesterday operation day plus one, things seemed to go okay. I wasn't in much pain and seemed to have quite a bit of energy so went for a half an hour walk down to the doctors to drop my discharge papers off with them, and then to the chemist to get some more surgical stockings as the hospital only gave me one pair and I'll need a spare pair when these goes in for a wash.
The afternoon was spent having a bit of a kip and lazing around calling CBH: "a git" every time she brought food into the room...food I can not eat at the moment such as a lovely looking salad. Sigh. Talking about food, yesterdays in take consisted of 2 shakes (one Healthier Weight one which wasn't as bad as the Strawberry one for oversweetness and one home made one) and one can of tomato soup and a vegetable soup. Not too bad and at no time did I feel hungry: which is nice.
Apart from that, I did notice that I was burping a lot which causes a couple of hiccup attacks. Not pleasant when you wonder if your guts are going to come out of the holes in your skin.... I know they aren't but it doesn't stop me worrying!
And T-2 morning update.... well just weighed myself and I am now down to "only" 119.7kg, a drop of 1.7kg since just before the op and about 8kg since I first saw the clinic. Quite pleased with that, but as the saying goes, every journey starts with a single step. This is very much the first step.
