Congratulations!  I've been thinking about you, hoping that everything went well.  The first few weeks, everything is new so take it slow and be kind to yourself!

Hi Viki,

I'm so glad to know that you made it through the surgery and are doing well. I haven't been able to stand fruity flavors since surgery! I wish you continued success and an uncomplicated recovery!

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know I made it through surgery!!  I went in on Tuesday at 2pm for 4pm surgery.  Apparently the person that was in front of my had something wrong with their lab work and wouldn't be able to go in until they could balance their levels so when I checked in, things moved quickly.  Changed into my gown, signed some papers, put my IV in, got weighed and moved straight from  the prep room to see the Anesthesiologist.  I talked to him which went quickly and they took me into the surgery room.  Layed me down on the operating table.  That was a little scary, seeing all the lights and it being so definate.  I don't remember anything from then.  So I went in about 3pm and was in the recovery room about 7pm.  My surgery ended up being about 4hrs which is pretty long.  Dr C said I had no complications but my liver was fatty.   I did have nausea when coming out of recovery but they gave me nausea medicine which helped.  The first night was spend sleeping, I was pretty out of it.  Wednesday was better.  I could get some liquids down but not very much at all.  About 8oz in total the first day.  Ihad no appetiteat all and it took everything in me to drink anything.  The second day was better.  I got about 30oz of fluids.  Today, It's 11am and I'm still struggling on my first 10 oz.  I don't want to drink anything and I'm sick of the fruity flavors.
Over all I think I'm doing ok.  I'll write more on my blog when I get home because this lap top and the connection at the hotel is horrible.
Thank you all to my OH family for all your prayers!!
