Hi ladies, hope you are all good. I'm now 4 days post op, one of the worst thing was the constipation! I'm so glad the worst is over, now to wait a month for results. I must say everyone has been so nice, gynaecologists, oncology gynae surgeons, doctors, nurses, theatre staff, domestics, absolutely everyone oozed after me. Had mine in the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh.  The tiredness is real butbi feel incredibly lucky to be at this stage now 

  • So glad it went well for you and you are feeling well, rest and recover, we are sending you good wishes. X 

  • Hi again Annousks, it’s good to see you! Since you spoke about constipation in the past tense, I assume that’s sorted now? My first bowel movement was on day 4 post op, but I’d kept my diet light till then so it wasn’t too bad. Are you managing to get out for a short gentle walk or two each day? That will help your digestion and circulation get back to normal, as well as helping clear the anaesthetic from your lungs. All the best for your continued recovery! 

  • Good to hear from you, and good the worst is over.  

    wishing you all the best for speedy recovery. Do things when you can and rest when you want, and you will get there. Xx

  • Am glad it has gone ok for you.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery. I felt pretty good by a week post op.

  • Best wishes for your recuperation. I remember being very tired post surgery! And just a tiny bit euphoric that it was over!

  • Yes I'm trying to keep mobile Marmite Fan, thank you so much for the wishes. Still struggling a bit with it, don't feel back to normal yet. 

  • Bless you - be kind to yourself, it’s only been 4 days! You will probably find that you’re a little better each day and can do a little more each day. With what aspect in particular are you struggling?
