Hi MizzouGirl- I had my surgery on May 30th Just got home last night from the hospital! My surgery went well, Doc said I was able to get my liver small enough for him to work around everything. Ended up having to stay an additional day in the hospital because I wasn't hydrated enough; first night home and I am a bit sore, especially when I stand, or try sleeping on my side! I hear you clear when you say sleeping is not fun when its on your back. I to am a stomach or side sleeper. I have found the pillow wedge helpful but it doesn't do justice.
Still trying to see what I can keep down, with out it making me nauseous. I have found I am a big fan of crystal light and Chick-fil-a Soup (drained of course, the broth to it is good) Just trying to take it one step at a time. Wish I wasn't so light headed all the time. I know this should go away when I can actually get more fluids in. Doc says I can get my staples taken out on Thursday, thats something to look forward to! Just glad to see there is another sleever so close to my date that I can try to compair storys with; as far as loosing weight, I am up 3 pounds since surgery... hoping that will turn around quickly. I would love to see a change on the scale, cause I'll tell you, it sure as heck through me off when I weighed in last night. Hope all is well- Mrs26
