Home after surgery

I came home from surgery this morning.  Dr. Vergis said the surgery couldn't have gone better.
My liver was small and I had no bleeding.  I haven't had any nausea, but I still haven't reached 120mls of liquid per hour, but the dietician said it was ok to go home since I wasn't having any nausea.  Today I was able to take 4oz of broth, which tasted amazing. LOL.

I've had no pain at the incision holes, but I've had alot of gas pain from all the gas they fill you
with during surgery.  Just happy to be home, sleeping in my own bed.  The nurses and HCA's
were all so nice and caring.  Overall I had a very positive experience and am feeling excited about this new life of mine!

Congrats Lindsey!!!  I went to visit you the day of your surgery but you were sleeping and I didn't want to bother you.

Take care!

yay for you.im glad everything went so well.i wish i could have seen you when i was there,but you were sleeping

Thanks ladies for stopping in to see me.  I was VERY sleepy the first day as I had alot of pain at first and had alot of morphine.  Hopefully I'll be able to see you all at the next M & G!

 Congratulations Lindsay!  Doesn't it feel great to be home? Just remember to take it easy,  those first couple of weeks are so important for your recovery.  Sip your fluids and enjoy letting everyone take care of you! 

 Take care .... Glad it went well! 

 Congrats Lindsay-so glad it went well. kj

Glad everything went well. take it easy the next few weeks and I know you said you had a young son so be careful lifting ( shouldn't probably lift at all, just say you need a BIG HUG and will make it up later!
Take care, Barb C

Glad surgery went well for you. welcome to the loosers bench

I am so glad to hear that your surgery went well.
 
I am sorry that I did not get to message you sooner as my grandchildren
are here from Edmonton and they are keeping my run off my feet.
It is really hard to keep up with teenagers a couple of weekst after surgery. 

I was really tired for about 3 weeks and my energy is slowly coming
back. I find things get easier each day but I have to really make sure I drink a lot.
At first it seems so hard to get in the fluids then it starts to get easier too.
I remember the chicken broth it was sooo good as the Optifast shakes are so sweet.

Take care rest and don't push yourself.

I am so happy for you and look forward to seeing you again.
