I had surgery 10/14, and I will be honest: I am both encouraged and struggling. I am down 19 pounds PS, and was down 14 lbs from liver reduction diet pre surgery. I was in the hospital just one night, which was great, and up walking PS within hours. One thing that I wish I would have had at home was an elevated toilet seat like at the hospital. Transition to the lower, standard seat at home was ROUGH that first week. I didn't use a single thing that I packed for the hospital. I had read forums and blog posts about what to bring, and so must have been over prepared. Since I have been home, I have been struggling with no appetite. I'm meeting all of my goals regarding liquid intake and protein intake, but it is a battle. Still, the pluses way outweigh the deficits.
