Wobble again

I think it’s absolutely normal to be apprehensive and indeed terrified about such a major operation! I remember very vividly the roller coaster of emotions!  I would go from positive to the depths of despair!  I agree it’s the lack of control so I focused on getting as fit as possibly mentally and physically!  I walked a lot, ate really well and used Headspace to manage the anxiety.  
I found it helped to focus on the positive stories on this Forum and put my trust in the medical team, who do this every day!  
What date is your operation? 

Opration around 8th August but no set date yet. Thank you for your kind words i am trying to stay positive 

Hi There 

2years 4 months since my operation and now if I eat wisely I am back to pre diagnosis health.

Time passes quickly and I am enjoying life.

Very best wishes

How was hour recovery  and life around 4 weeks after 

Hi 

Good to hear from you. Eating was a  bit difficult

I suffered from lack of appetite for a few weeks but I managed with little and often and things gradually improved with the help of the dieticians at St James Hospital in Leeds.

I tended to go to the loo quite a lot in the early days but again with time everything improves

I also tried to do quite a bit of walking. It is a gradual process but things do get better. 

I had little pain which was a blessing. With the follow up help that is available I am sure that you will soon be fully recovered.

Very best wishes
