I'm home from surgery!

Susan I am ok.I have a lot of pain in the upper right side .That is where he had trouble with my liver there.Some weird thing about my liver.I am tolerating most things well.I had too much protein yesterday.I drank my 48 but protein was 230 .Today will be better.I can't do this alone that is for sure.I need help wit h the shower and basic things like pulling up my pj's I can't lean over.I hope you are recovering nicely and not much pain.I gained 9.5 lbs and I think today lost half of that.Maybe.I am going to walk to the mail box today with my daughter.I have gas and can pass it but no BM yet.I have to take MOM at night to get me going.DO you?Do you take vits or other meds?Tale care.Love Dee

I'm sorry you are having so much pain! Most of my pain is on the upper left side. But, it is tollerable. Pamela said that is where most of the normal manipulation is done. So far I am doing 4 oz. of a protein shake at a time (for 2 total shakes per day = 76 g of protein). It's the fluids (water, etc.) that I am having a hard time getting in. I did great yesterday, but I am off to a slow start today. How in the world did you get in 230 grams of protein? What are you drinking? I am able to move around a lot better today. I have actually been able to walk everyday. Yesterday morning I did 1 mile (very slowly!). It is already so hot today, I don't know how far I will be able to go. Right now I am taking 2 multi-vits, 2 calcium and 2 prevacid (1 in morning, 1 in evening) and I crush my synthroid and take it with 1 bite of applesauce. That's about it. My pouch doesn't like anything really cold, so I am drinking most of my fluids at room temp. Keep me updated! Love - Susan
