Too Much Too Soon

This month I bit off more than I can chew. I had the VSG on 2/8 - and we had to move out of our house by this past saturday. It has been a perfect storm of change and the one thing I used to rely on (food for stress), was missing. I did well, considering the circumstances. I cried when I felt like it. I figured better to get my emotions out than to stuff them down, right? If I had it to do over, I would have tried not to take on so much so soon. I helped pack as much as I could up to the date of the surgery. But after the surgery, the recovery has been slow and steady. I tire easy, I'm emotional, and add that Mother Nature decided to pay me a visit the weekend of the move and my first week back to work. My emotions were all over the place, I had cramps that seemed like they were the worse ever, especially since I could not take my Aleve. I am down to 303.2, seems like getting to twoterville is going to take me forever. I feel my clothes fitting better. This week, I will take my 3 week post op photo and post it. Maybe seeing the difference will help boost my spirits. My advise, don't take on too much too soon. :blink:

ugh! so true! I took on too much and split one of my incisions open! Luckily it was just top layer of skin after stitches were out - but still! I did too much and that's what happens! Take it easy! We still have a lot of rebuilding to do!

What you didn't do is fall off the wagon and let it run you over - that in itself is a HUGE victory! Congrats on that!

Let your emotions out! Stuffing the weight of a cheesecake down on them makes them 10 times as bad!
