The big op that I had t the start of 2019 was to remove a chunk of bowel that had merged with my bladder, which was leaking into it. Removing the bowel left a hole in the bladder that they stiched up. Thankfully they got the right end 😂

All doing rightly 2 years on.

Tend to do a bowl of Alpen or similar in the morning along with a bit of brown wholemeal toast, which is meant to be good for the bowel, then I lapse into crap until dinner (tea) and don't do much better later.

I'm, sitting on my backside most days WFH and don't do much exercise, so that's the plan now, try and cut out eats between meals and do something physical a few times a week which is more cardio than just outdoor DIY....

whooah.
that's serious re-plumbung.

I suppose you may have been advised to have plenty of fibre to keep everything moving nicely .
The thing I've found is the more carb I have the more I want , I understand that I'm not alone here.
All bran , although it is carb, is one that I can and do have...as the fibre isn't digested of course.
Only problem is that it just HAS to have sugar with it..

I wouldn't cut out the eats between meals per se, just what you eat...certainly from the off unless you're strong willed.
Apples ( unless fermented into a thirst quenching beverage) are great, albeit boring..

WFH ,for all it's benefits , does seem to have had a detrimental effect on the nation's waistlines.

I'm the least strong willed person in the house ubfortunately. I find apples just make me hungry and want to eat more.... figure that one out!
Will have Mrs S look into snacking alternatives when she's doing the next online shop

we all have our own triggers .
Apples are carbs (pls see above).
certain beers will make me ( no...i make myself) crave chocolate., but only in the house.
not unlike the craving for a kebab or curry when out on the lash.
I know of no one who craves a Chinese or Italian after a skinfull.

Roughly 70kcal per 100g, so are decent.

Celery about 8kcal per 100g.

I had that in 1994, fistula between the bowel and the bladder, brown stuff coming out the front and urine coming out the back. The op went all wrong, everything got twisted up and the blood supply to the kidneys cut off so emergency operation in the night to do it all over again, over a week in intensive care after that.

Yes but they come in small, convenient packages and you can eat lots without feeling guilty.

Jesus * christ.
I read the term fistula and nearly did a " ooh ..."

...but after reading what you went through .....

Blimey Geoff, you're certainly getting full value out of your 9 lives!

 

[DAVENN]

wagon, off, fallen Dave?...

nope.
not even considered one.
the drinks cabinet is at the entrance to the kitchen and a big bottle of kraken is on the centre isle ...

Karate by zoom tonight and as much as hydration will be in order, it'll be R Whites.

Heysus Christos Geoff.... you are charmed. Thank goodness for us that you are

I just had a permanent UTI, made widdling interesting. The air bubbles at the end were rather amusing though.
Never saw brown stuff thankfully. That would have freaked me.

Im convinced my bladder was moved to the other side during the op.
