Giuliana Rancic might not back in the E! offices yet—hey, it's only been three days since her double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery—but she is already back at home as of this morning and in good spirits.

"I'm feeling good and I'm happy to be back home," she exclusively tells E! News.

Rancic decided to undergo the four-hour procedure on Tuesday after learning she still had breast cancer following treatment earlier this year. She is currently recovering with the help of husband Bill Rancic.

"I'm healthy and surgery was a success. It's been tough, but I'm trying to stay strong and manage the pain. I have to say I have a newfound respect for women who have been through breast cancer and this surgery," Giuliana says.

Glad you're on the mend, G! Can't wait until you're back.
