Everything went fantastic! I'm feeling much much better today although I just can't seem to wake up. So glad yours was a success @@choicemun !

Also- I did so well on my preop diet and shrank my liver so much, he didn't even have to do a biopsy! He is very pleased with my mobility and efforts thus far so I will for sure be going home today! He told my family that he wished all of his patients were like me. That was comforting to hear.

@@choicemun I'm doing okay. I have one incision that is killing me. He did a stitch under the skin and it pulled my skin in...so it's dented if that makes sense? It's to help prevent a hernia. I was actually discharged on Wednesday so I'm on day 2 of being home. It's been slow going. I was cleared for stage two of liquids. I attempted Tomato Soup for lunch. I got 2 oz down and was proud of myself...lol. I did get 10 oz of my premier Protein shake down for Breakfast though. The gas has FINALLY subsided. That was definitely rough. I'm walking and sipping. Which is already getting old

Im three weeks post surgery and struggle with anxiety as well. Two weeks before surgery anything that could go wrong in my life at that time... Did. Including a break-up and my anxiety was at an all time high.

My anxiety has actually reduced since the surgery because I've had to focus on myself. Plus after the surgery the weight just falls off of you and will give you the confidence boost.

The tough part was being so restricted (diet and movement) for such a long time that you have too much time on your hands to think. Never a good thing...

You've been preparing for this for probably a long time and you shouldn't let the anxiety rule your life.

This is a big life event and it is scary at the same time. Being anxious (if you suffer from anxiety issues or not) is totally normal. Our bodies naturally make us anxious at times like this as a defense mechanism.
