9 days post-op

On monday I went to my first dr. appointment, 9 days after surgery, I've lost 23 pounds. I know this is great (doc said) but I feel a bit depressed, I think because there's so much I want to do but can't yet. I don't have pain from the surgery but my liver is still very painful. I'd like to thank everyone who sent me e-mails I can't tell you how much they mean to me...thank you all.... Anyone else go through this? How do you make yourself feel better? Best wishes and prayers to all...

Sharon: The best thing you can do for yourself right now is get plenty of rest, and let your body do it's natural work.... It takes alittle time to regain your strength. You will feel alot better around week 5 and 6 at least that has been my experience so far... Good Luck and God Bless on your journey! Cheri

Sharon, I agree...give yourrself a break! You just had MAJOR surgery. Hang in there. It gets better. Almost by the day!
