Hi mzdiva31 and returntome, I promise you both will do just fine. I am 6 days post op today and I am already feeling myself again. I actually cleaned the whole house today. Of course not as fast or as perfect as I wanted too. But, I did it. I felt like I made the wrong decision the first few days after surgery. However, today I had such a great day, that I am happy I made this choice. Just know that you will get very emotional and cry periodically on a daily basis. Sleeping was the hardest for me. I never sleep on my back, so the past few days have been a challenge for me because clearly I couldn't sleep on my stomach or side. So I had to sleep on my couch sitting on a few pillows so I wouldn't be too low because it would hurt to sit and get up. I am still craving fatty foods. My doctor told me that will only last for about two weeks. However, I was not interested in eating them. If that makes sense. I stacked up on baby food, farina, and Crystal light. Those were my to go to. But it would take me two days to finish one little bottle of baby food. Water was so hard to go down. But you have to take sips to stay hydrated BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL DUE TO DEHYDRATION. We are all here for you guys. Just let us know how we can help you through your journey.

Hi ladies, I just had my surgery on Tuesday, March 28th. All went perfectly well. I am now home recovering. You guys will be just fine. Just make sure you follow all of your doctors orders and take your 2 weeks liquid diet very seriously because you do not want to risk damaging your liver or your doctor cancelling your surgery. Many blessings to you all. It's a TOUGH journey, but it will all be worth it.
