    Hi Leigh I'm really good, I can eat most things, pork I seem to struggle with, and I still haven't learnt not to finish my plate. But I'm slowly getting there. How are you feeling with your decision?

    Hi I'm pretty much eating solid food without an issue except I always eat too fast
    Today I had weetbix milk and 1/2 banana and 1/2 a salad wrap, 1/2 slice cheese cake (oops) and a little bit of fish and cooked veggies. I've slowed on the weight loss since the first 2 weeks but I guess that is to be expected. I do feel good though just the breathing alone has made it worth it. I'm glad you are doing well how is your friend are you coping ok? Thinking of you V x

    Hi Leigh, I am very sorry to hear of your friends illness, my sister and I have nursed 2 parents through cancer, it is just such a horrid disease. I must say when someone takes their last breath and it's time for them to go it is the most beautiful spiritual peace. I am not deeply religious, (I do not believe in Jesus per-say and do not attend church) but I believe in spirits, love and kindness.
    I hope the beauty of a new life, helps with the sadness.
    Thinking of you V

    Hi Leigh I came home last night. I have antibiotic, anti-coagulate injections, and some other tablet not too sure what that is for. My surgery went well, I too had a hernia only small though. Today is my day 4 so I can start sipping optifast again not just clear fluids anymore. Did your surgeon use a drain? that bit is yuk coming out. All in all not really painful, just exhausting and the questioning have I done the right thing? But it's good to be home and no longer drinking those fruit juices. Anyhow glad you are healing xo stay strong.

    Wow, def glad to say your doing much better then I was! You'll be amazed at how much better you feel as the days go by. And don't worry about the gas, that goes away too, it can be a bitch though. Same thing with the cold feeling, it goes away. I'm so glad to hear about your progress though, it feels great to hear you doing so well!

    Wow, your home already? Did you take in any fluids? If waters too difficult opt for crushed ice, and yes the heating pad helps but walking is the best. And since oral medication may not be an option, you can try nausea medication bracelets but I didn't try them myself. My nausea had stopped once I was out of the hospital away from the things they were putting in my IV.
