The 2 weeks since surgery have flown by.  I've lost 27-28# including the 2 wk liver shrink diet.

Have had some nausea in the last few days, but getting in 60-70 grams of protein most days.  My biggest issue is fatigue and lack of motivation to exercise.  Get sooo tired so quick.  is this normal? 

My soreness is much better and it's time for me to get moving! Any ideas would be appreciated.

Wow! The liver shrink diet went well and I lost 18 lbs.  My surgery went well but imagine my surprise when I got home and had put 7 lbs back on!  Go figure.  Today was my first full day at home and although I live alone, I did fine and handled light chores and took care of my dogs.  I got in 54 grms of protein from shakes but also ate an egg and a bit of cottage cheese, all on the prescribed program. This afternoon I noticed some swelling and bruising around the two bigger lap sites.  Checked in with my dr and will drop by her office on Monday if I'm still concerned.  That's about it for day 1.  Time for bed. 

Well, yes I'm hungry, but not terribly so.  I can do this. 12 days to surgery!  Any hints or thoughts to stay the course would be appreciated.

In 10 days I start the 2 week pre surgery liver shrink diet.  It seems weird to say this, but I'm  actually looking forward to it.  It will confirm to my brain that this is finally really going to happen.  

October 16th!  Took 7 months to get a date and now have to wait two more.  My surgeon stays booked out 8 weeks. But I'm not complaining, just happy to be in the home stretch to a new life!

On August 12, I'll see the surgeon and get my surgery date! WHOO HOO!  It's taken over 6 months to get here! Keeping my fingers crossed for early October!
