Wow you get to leave after only one night? You're a champ! Keep it up, don't forget to take your daily Protein requirement which is 60 grams for women. I'm sure your surgeon gave you the spill on the yummy nectar we all had to drink the first week to get your protein in. Otherwise you will be nauseated and feel very weak, not a good thing. Keep us posted!

Some surgeons only keep you one night. Mine sent me home the next morning and at the time I really thought I should have stayed longer. Once I got home though I was happy with it. After all- no one gets any sleep in the hospital!

My stay was one night, but two full days. Surgery was around 8:30am, got to my room by 1pm, walked a bunch of times, no food or drink. Next morning from 6am - noon drank Water, noon broth for lunch, 5pm dinner of cream Soup and Jello. Then released at 8:30pm after post-op instructions with nurse and visit from nutritionist, and last visit from surgeon.
