    Today's Nutribullet ingredients.

    I started my antibiotics for the urinary infection this morning. It's a three day course, today til Monday, so it shouldn't hold up my op. The nurse said that, as soon as she got the antibiotics sorted with the doctor, she would let the coordinator know so my op can be arranged. As it's four and a half hours they have to reshuffle shorter ops to make a window for mine. Meanwhile,…

    I've been trying to find out when my op is as I've had the pre-op. No-one was able to tell me. I found out why today. I got a call about 11.30 from the urology unit at the hospital.

I left it an hour or so then I rang my doctors' to see if the prescription was done. It wasn't. I asked if my account…

    I've been wondering how big the stoma is likely to be. I have seen pictures but it's hard to judge the size. Does it stay red? What are the best seals? Does one have to buy a rubber sheet or are they supplied? Do they give one stuff to take home? How big is the bag? Any answers welcome.

    I still haven't heard when my operation will be. It's my pre op on Tuesday so I guess they'll tell me then. I can't say I'm not worried because I am. It's a big operation, four and a half hours. I only stopped smoking a short while ago and I still have the odd one, occasionally. I'm trying not to have any more but it's hard. I have a Nutribullet and it's great so I will be getting my fruit and vegetables in a daily drink…
