    It was nandos last night now I’m crrrrraving an Indian curry!
    As if an alcohol ban isn’t bad enough I can’t make up for it by pigging on my fav foods ….

    Apparantly Garlic, mushrooms and aspirin (fair enough) should be avoided post and prior same as alcohol …

    I was given a little info book post op that said don’t eat garlic for about 48 hours but after that it was fine, I wasn’t told to avoid any food pre-op. I thought it was a little strange at the time because I’m a nurse and have never heard of it but I avoided it anyway. was told not to drink alcohol because it delays healing so avoid it until your incisions are fully closed at about 6 weeks, and obviously don’t drink close before your op. if your out at nandos I’m guessing your a few weeks post op anyway so you should be ok to eat anything you want x

    Thanks Kathryn – no I’m pre op having mine on Saturday
    I was just craving all my usual weekend treats and decided against having them
    In hindsight if it was that important we would have all been warned on paper, but I haven’t so I’m not to worried (still wont eat it though haha ) xx
