UPDATE Post-Op Day 1:


Surgery was yesterday and everything went well. Dr said my liver looked great but still took biopsy. After surgery was over took a little longerr to get my oxygen levels back up but after that I was moved to my private room. Yep my own room!


Once I got to my room they started me on morphine but found it that I don't like morphine. It makes me extremely nauseous! So I was put in diluadid and I liked it!


After 2 hours being in my private I went for first wall. Then hour or two later I went on another walk. After second walk I got the catheter out! Boy did it burn when I went potty. Around 5a.m. I had my popsicle and it went down with no issues.


I will update more later. Words are starting to blend together, so can't see what I am typing.

You sound like you're doing great!!

[knt4ever 137]

I am doing good compared to most patients here but I have to stay another night because my oxygen levels are too low when I sleep. That stinks. Dr thinks it had to do with the anesthesia so they are being safe. I am doing good on foods and Water and am starting to get gas bubbling up. I think I beat the carbon dioxide gas with the heating pad and walking right away. They have me on the half pills of pain killers. I can definitely feel more of the pain from surgery than when I was on the IV filled with Dilaudid. I didn't feel anything on the Dilaudid but now I feel it. It isn't overwhelming but it is there.

I had the low oxygen levels too. The stupid machine beeped all night! Same thing after my back surgery! Sounds like you are on track otherwise and doing well. Congrats! Best wishes.

UPDATE Post-Op Day 2:

I am HOME!!!!!

I was held 14 hours longer for my oxygen levels ugh. Dr was going to let me go home last night but changed his mind. Either way it doesn't matter because I am home with my ladies and puppy!

I will go into more details later because I am still weak and tired.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

UPDATE Post-Op Day 3:

Today was not as bad during the day although couldn't stay asleep last night.

I got my fluids in again today and Protein too. I am a little concerned it is easy for me to drink Water when so many had difficulty time. I am sipping with my Camelbak and take 3 sips each time. I am being very careful and slow when eating or drinking so maybe I am just doing it right.

I even went on treadmill and walked a half mile at 1.5 mph. Took 20 minutes but I did it! Want to keep walking because it makes everything better.

With the being tired, it is difficult staying asleep but then all of the sudden I will pass out for 30 minutes. It's weird to have energy and then poof it's gone. When I got 2 hours straight of sleep I felt like it was an accomplishment!

Day 3 is a wrap!!!
