Oooh and garlic bread, it’s nice to see you on road to recovery Jason, seems like you’ve had a rough time.
Amy you do right in not being scared, I’m a massive foody, mums Spanish so our diet was different growing up,always ate well and healthy but I do like the odd treat now and again. And if you don’t try you will never know what you can and can’t eat, it’s a matter of gaining confidence especially if you want to eat out latter. My last goal before I go back to work will be pizza hut, went last September before I was diagnosed and wow I seriously paid for it, I blamed pizza hut.lol, but now I know different so that will be my last test, but not yet.xxx

Hi Jason, been following your story from start, funny you said to take things easy i’m normally go round like a whirlwind and am now 12 days post op and feeling great, eating anything and everything and have been fine, I have tested food coz when I go back to work I need to know what I can and can’t eat, don’t want any problems at work, hubby and doc have said I need to slow down, and has given me another 4 weeks off work, am feeling a fraud, but doc said not the case, need to heal on inside. So I will try and keep that in mind but am always in a hurry, have no idea why. Tomorrow is homemade lasagna

Jason – oh my god, my hubbie loves belly buttons and tries to stick his finger into mine and i go just crazy.

Marina – mmmm sounds fabulous. Yeah just gonna eat at home for couple of weeks then venture out. I don’t think i will be scared either. Just gotta see how it goes.
Keep enjoying your food honey.

Lyn – Hahahahahahahaha no its not an ERCP either. its something they do during surgery to check all the ducts are clear and forgotten the name. No i don’t have to have an ERCP thank god. Oh im so hoping for news tomorrow. Will keep you posted.

LOL @ Amy, i like to get the fluff out

@Lyn – Hi hun, hope your well! Not had any major set backs but id over done it a few times like pulling out the washing machine etc, set me back a bit, id feel really good, decide to do something then get knocked right back again! But Ive learned my lesson now and im doing good! xxxxxx

@Cait – Thats it, i thought it was you but couldnt come across the post! Oo THANKYOU once again, i LOVE it with a cup of tea, Yea im as normal as i’ll ever be anyhow, the last few weeks have been the best so far, still get a little niggle here and there but thats NOTHING compared to a constant nagging pain before hand! Hope your ok flower! xxxxx

@Marina – Hi hun, i dont think ive spoke to you before. Im gathering youve had the op? Just take things easy and dont go thinking your feeling fine and over doing it like i think most of us have on here, take things SLOWLY. You’ll get there in the end xxxx

Thanks, reading Alex’s blog did make me feel better.
Marina, you are very brave. I’ve tried quite a few things, but not dared venture to pastry and onion!!

Well update on quiche, no problems followed by a family bag of aero mint bubbles and nothing so, cheese,bacon,eggs, milk and onions plus pastry all full fat no side effects at all. Another thing ticked off.Amy your right what you said about eating at home first as that’s what I have been doing just trying and eating all the things we wouldn’t dare eat before and so far I have had no problems with anything. I have really tried to be brave and eat the things that I thought there would be issues with. Had check up at docs this morning and all ok and have been signed off for another 4 weeks from work. Only because surgeon suggests 6 weeks befor I go back to work. Yeahhhh. Xxx

Amy you are sooooo funny I think you mean when they do an ercp i.e. camera down to check or endoscopy as they say. I had that when I had a stone block the common bile duct ( it escaped from the gb ) and they had to go in and get it out ( actually when they got in there there was more than 1 thats why I had such bad jaundice !!!!
Do you have to have one ?xx

Jason whoa lovely to hear from you, what kind of set backs have you had ? Good to share ……….
Glad that you feel better but as you say it does take quite a while sometimes for people to get back to normal – whatever that is hahah xxx

Any news on Tracey Marg ?

Maggie read that post it ll make you feel better xxx

Amy hope some good news for you soon babe x

Hope everyone else is ok xxxxxxxx

Marina – Thank you so much for the post. Im going to have a look at fat free pizza and vegan recipe now. Thank you so much. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i love quiche. your making my mouth water. mmmmmmm i can’t wait. Heres hoping for good news tomorrow. I know im gonna turn into a fatty post op hahahaha but i don’t care, life is too short, i will enjoy myself and then look after myself. Me and hubby where talking about it last night and you are so right, its trial and error. you don’t know till your try. We have decided to eat in for a week or so and introduce a few foods that way then venture on a restaurant meal. eeeekkkk!!!!!

Maggie, im so sorry to hear about your BB wound. You sound like your doing great with the other ones. I can’t imagine how fed up you feel but the stressing isn’t going to help.

I went swimming at 630 this morning and it was perfect. only did 40 lengths.

Had a telephone consultation with my GP this morning. Informed about creon making me sick. I also said that i was doing ok before i started taking them and since taking them in jan ive felt horrible. He has told me to reduce the amount of tabs again, from 3 a day to 1-2 a day and see how i go. He said lets get surgery out of the way and see how i go. Here’s hoping i don’t need tabs.

whats an angiogram????

Jason – Why would you wanna put your finger in your belly button anyway. yuk yuk. i hate my belly button. HATE IT!!!!!. even thinking about it is making me feel funny. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
