Feeling pretty good considering...not going to post too much here today just cause I'm really tired. The surgery went without any problems. The two week diet paid off and my internal were prime for surgery, liver looked great! As others have posted I did gain a few pounds in the hospital but I'm sure it will all come off shortly

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

welcome home and welcome to the loser's bench! I just had my surgery on tuesday, so I am definitely with you on being tired! Today seems to be much better. I slept through the night and don't need any pain meds! How are you feeling other than being tired?

Welcome to the Loser's Club! Glad things went well for you... I did a LOT of sleeping the first week or two following surgery... Listen to your body, it's sending you messages!

CONGRATS!

Congratulations! You seem to have a very good attitude - you're not panicking about the weight gain in hospital, which is awesome!

Get all the rest you can. And sip. And walk. And repeat...

Good to hear we've got another loser amongst us! Expect to be tired that first week. For me I was tired the first week, felt great the next, than BAM...3rd week was tired, tired, tired. But after that life gets back to normal (whatever normal is now).

Take care and keep us updated on your journey!
