Surgery went well. Its kind of hard not to lose weight when you are on a clear liquid diet for four days followed by a limited soft-food diet for two days. I am actually down 10 lbs from the day before I did the prep for surgery.
My appetite hasn't come back yet. My mom and MIL have been taking turns helping with my daughter, making us soup and going for walks with me. Part of my recovery instructions is to walk daily, rest and not lift more than 10 lbs.
My doctor said my surgery went better than expected and my recovery is going better than expected as well.

Hope you feel better. I thought that gluten-free helped... I am off Atkins lately myself - fruit is the culprit. Yes, a hospitalization is a sure-fire way to lose weight - the thing is to keep it off! When I was a nurse the diets were so strict that even a big hamburger and fries once a week didn't add up to much since the calorie levels were so low... and nothing for a person like a clear liquid diet to lose weight...

So glad to hear it went well. I think I lost 30 pounds-couldn't enjoy it though. Please keep posting updates. Take care.

I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well and that you are getting up and around pretty well. It really helps when you have people who can help you while you recover. Keep us updated and I hope you are very well very soon!
