I had surgery on the 13th and I am home

I am home from the hospital and I feel pretty good.  I want to say thank you to all that gave me support when I was scared and struggling on my liquid diet.

Welcome home!!!  I'm so glad that you are doing well.  Rest up and keep us posted!

Wow! That was fast! You must've had a lap! I'm glad you're feeling good. Congrats!

How long were you on your liquid diet and how much did you lose?? Just curious...I'm on my 2 week pre-op diet myself...

I was on the liquid diet 7 days before surgery.  I did cheat and I had one healthy meal on 3 of the 7 days.  I guess my liver was pretty small because my surgery only took 1 hour.  I had lost 12 pounds when I checked into the hospital before surgery.  I hated the preop diet before but now I fully understand it.  I had already mourned food, so after surgery when my husband was eating I didn't feel depressed that I couldn't eat with him nor did I even want what he had.  I also really haven't been hungry, all things that my surgeon said the preop diet would help to accomplish.
