Kidney Surgery

Well I'm 90 days into MFP - 67 lbs (19%) lost.
Now I have to have a kidney removed on Thursday. Last workout this AM (figured I didn't want to be too sore on surgery day.
Doctor is saying 3-4 days in the hospital, 4-6 weeks before any lifting, so I'm a little disheartened to hear that. I guess in recovery I'm going to have to be super vigilant about staying at my cals or lower. I'd prefer this just to be a speedbump, not a brick wall.
Anyone go through anything similar? have any tips? I'm sure hospital food is going to be a pleasure.
