3 weeks post op

I will be three weeks post-op on Monday...three weeks! In some ways it feels like yesterday, and in others - it feels like a loonnggg time ago! Going back to work has given me back my routine, and although I am tired, I do sleep well at night, and I really needed to get back into my life.

I really feel like these past few days I am feeling like me again - almost "normal" or whatever that is. I still have some twinges in my port area...which I understand is normal. I did take a quick trip to the surgeon's office this week, but all is well....guess my incisions are healing very slowly due to an odd reaction my body is having to the dissolving stitches - but it still put my brain at ease to know that all is well!

I still cannot see the changes in my body - down 29 lbs since I started this process - but everyone I see tells me how great I look, which is nice. I did have to buy a couple of new shirts...have some functions this week that I need to dress up for, and although I have pants in the next size down, all of my shirts seem to suddenly look like I am swimming in them. They are ok for work, but....it was nice to buy the next size down! and I still have a long way to goal.....

I'm glad things are going well for you. I'm 3 weeks post-op on Wednesday, and I'm still adjusting.

You sound like you have a great grip on things.

Posting pics of the new top??
