8 Weeks Post-Op

I finally returned to work today. My two week surgery vacation turned into 8 weeks of medical leave, it's been a long road back to pretty normal. I am down 50 lbs from my pre-surgery start weight! I'm excited about the weight loss and hoping to lose another 100 lbs before I am through. So thankful for all the support I have found through this website!

Thats great Lizzy :) You had surgery the day after me, and we have a similar amount we want to still lose - Did your co-workers notice? I don't return to my teaching job until faculty meetings begin in late august so I have feeling some folks may notice my losses. Best of luck with your continued good health!

Hi Chimera, yes they did notice! Almost everyone has said something good about it. I'm glad I was very up front about what I was doing, so at least I don't have to explain it all after the fact. I'm glad you have the time off to really learn this new way of life we have now. Your co-workers will notice and I hope it's great for you! Lizzy
