Last day at work until 4 weeks post op :)



Recommended Posts

Today is my last day at work until after surgery. My sleeve is on Monday morning :) I am so excited. I've made it to day 5 of my preop diet, and have not cheated even once. I'm already down 10 lbs!! I am so excited to finally be having my surgery, and am so looking forward to my new life!! I work as a nurse in an OB/gyn office, and will be out for four weeks, returning on August 25th. I really hope recovery goes well, and I'll get to enjoy some of this time off like vacation, lol!

Awsome, I know the feeling all too well... I was sleeved on Monday May 5th so a Friday like this one back on May 2nd was my last Friday too... enjoy the time off, heal well, you'll feel pretty good 4 days out, and great almost like your old self 7 days out. Make sure you walk walk walk -- it's the only thing that really helps the gas and bloating discomfort. You'll be sooo happy after it's done. I have not had one complication, I'm almost 3 months out, 45 lbs down and feel TERRIFIC!! Enjoying the new me, down 3 dress sizes and lotsss of energy... love love love it! Good luck, keep us posted.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
