12-22-08 the day before surgery I was on clear liquids and nothing to eat after midnight. 12-23-08 had to be at hospital 5:45 a.m. went back at 7:45 a.m woke up in my room at 10:30 a.m, I slept for awhile but towards the evening i had walked the halls about 4 times, had 2 Popsicles, had some ice chips and by bed time a little bit of chicken broth. Had some pain in my left side that is where the port is they say it is normal until the stitching heals. so of course had some pain medicine. also had some pain in my shoulder which apparently is normal too. 12-24-08 got released from hospital about 1100 a.m went home and relaxed and slepted. 12-25-08 still feeling some pain in my left side, taking it easy. I haven't had any hunger pains but I have been drinking chicken broth, eating some jello, water well ice chip, and drinking a little bit of apple juice. well that's my story for now thanks for listening and have a very Merry Christmas
