Well I was "done "on 2oth June here in Ireland and am doing great also-aren't we all blessed to have had no complications??It was much better than I had visualised and except for horrible runs from the Gastrograffin that they give you for the swallow test,I hardly used the pain meds either.

Home was a different thing alltogether-we were getting solar panels installed the week prior to my surgery.OK.However as always one thing led to another and I came home to every door open the house FILTHY(I had left it spotless and tidy)radiators off in every room and 2(very nice)men in and out with Kango hammers.They were here for the first week of my recovery and I nearly went bats with the stained carpets and the dust everywhere(men NEVER close doors)However, in a funny way, it actually took my mind off myself and passed the time!!My visitors were horrified though and kept offering to help clean up. In the end when they finished I got 2 cleaners in and they spent 5 hours spring/summer cleaning!!!best thing ever!!!

I lost21 lbs since pre-op and NOTHING since-very frustrating but trying not to panic.seeing nutritionist tmorro.Not drinking HALF the water that I should and got nasty reaction to protein powder so a bit worried about lack of protein.Dying for some mashed potato!!taste has really altered and cant take any artificially sweetened yogurt,in fact am eating Goats yogurt as its the bitterest!!!

Did 2 walks and unfortunately my arthritis flared so have to give that a rest for the moment til I shed another bit of belly(if only it was the belly,it has come off my face,shoulders and FEET(how bizarre is that?)
It would be great to keep up the contact.
Upwards and onwards!!
Sue
