Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. Needless to say I am starving!! To top it all off I have a wedding to go to at 3. I'm praying that The Lord gives me the strength to stay on my plan.

I'm staying overnight. Into surgery around 7:45am and I'm told it took about 50 minutes and the doc pronounced my liver "lovely". Stomach is sore and a headache. No bad gas pains (yet). Walking feels good. Ice pack on the tummy feels good. Hubs is here with me now, parents and sister earlier. Sis has also elected to sleep over on my room. Discharge after upper GI tomorrow

Morning.

Glad u are home kbush!

How are you feeling?

How are you feeling?

Not to bad. Sore throat and coughing and shoulder pain.

If it hurts your stomach when you cough ask for a abdominal belt it works wonders!

I didn't have time to ask. I was in and out in 4 hours. Seriously I was back home by 11am.

It took me 2 days to finish a bottle of Water after surgery. Today is day 3 post-op. I'm feeling much better. I have a few tender spots on my tummy but that's it. My leg muscles are sore from the socks they had on me during surgery. They fell like I've been at the gym working out. I wish they would have put those on my arms also. #instantWorkout

LOL

Feeling like a million bucks!

I'm so happy u r feeling that well... Are u sleeping in a bed? I been on a chaise loung cause its low to the ground so it's easier to get in and out of. My mom sleeps on the couch with the TV on. My back is starting to hurt and also the tv is driving me nuts because it keeps me up. I'm afraid if I lay in a bed I won't be able to get up

I think if I HAD to go back to work tomorrow I could for a little while maybe half day. What about you?

My moms bed is super high so my dad found a step stool so I used that to get on and omg totally worth it i use headboard and walker arms to help me get up. The relief I have on my back is incredible I feel all my muscles finally stretching try to find a step stool or even a cinder block to step up onto.
