Hi again RaeRae

If you are feeling ok, just keep doing what you are doing but please try to keep your fluids up – the milk does count but nothing is as good as plain old H2O!

As for exercise, walking is absolutely perfect at this stage, so don’t feel that you have to do more.

Trust your body to tell you what you can and can’t do – like sneezing!

Quite a few people have medicalert bracelets/necklaces/dogtags. I have ordered one and mine will say RNY Gastric Bypass and Asthma: just to be on the safe side. Are you managing to take your multi vitamins and minerals? They can be bought in liquid form to help with the swallowing issue in the early days. It’s really important that you take them when you have little or no appetite.

My goodness, I hope you don’t think I sound like your Mum haha!? Be kind to yourself and enjoy this brand new life you will see coming round the corner in a few weeks ;-))
