hello HappySid,

                        you are currently thinking in weeks,you need to start thinking in months.l lost 60% of my liver along with the gallbladder,and although the liver regenerates,it does not do it overnight.So your body is not only healing itself from the operation,it also has to regrow the liver.

                                                                                                                               l can relate to all of your symptoms,they come with the territory but they will eventually die away.Good luck with your recovery and your impatience to be back to normal,

                                                                                David

Thank you for your reply, David. I wanted the reassurance that this was common and these symptoms were not something that only I might be going through. I guessed not, but am surprised at the lack of info I received re' what to expect after discharge from hospital. I was naive enough to believe I would've just been a bit sore and worn out for a few weeks. I will gladly ride it out now, in the knowledge that this is the norm for a while.

Wishing you well.

Hi Happy Did and others,

I hope your recovery has gone well.

I'm new here and don't know the etiquette about resurrecting old posts, but this is the first one I read and it's brought me some comfort so I wanted to comment.

I've just had about 70% resection, only 5 days ago and was semt home today. The first couple of days post op I felt good, but since then the symptoms you describe have kicked in. The hospital staff were great,  and the metallic test which I'm finding really nauseus,  explained when I asked, but I thought it would pass sooner. Impatient!

But now I'm home, my first night, and a very long way from that hospital, I am laying awake and starting to worry about the slightest twinge, ache  taste, tired but sleepless, etc. Like you I fully expected the tiredness but not the rest - and although I've been told about it after asking I guess it hasn't properly become 'the norm' in my head.

So reading your question and the replies has been a comfort- thank you. 

Wishing everyone well, Greg
