I returned back to work this week from my 5 weeks off due to my hysterectomy.

It seems to be kicking my butt! So tired, but I'm hanging in there. I cannot wait to be back to normal!

I've been struggling the last year trying to lose the last 20 lbs. I decided to do something different and I joined weight watchers. Well, I have 1 week down and guess what, I gained 4 lbs by joining ww. I stuck to the plan to a T. Needless to say, I am very frustrated. I decided I will give WW 30 days. If in that 30 days I don't lose any weight, I'm done! So I'm trying not to get too frustrated, but I tell you, I am.

Next week I am hoping the doc will release me to exercise, she said it was still too soon this week, but she did say I can go for a leisure walk, just not hard core brisk walking and no lifting anything.

Now that I am back to work, I can keep my blog updated more.

Hi Sunshine,

I can't help with the weightloss WW problem but I can tell you that after my hysterectemy it was a good 6 months before I felt completely normal. I was tired, emotional and just not normal for a while. I don't regret it - hands down best surgery to date - but the tiredness is normal.

Relax and recover!

Good luck,

Deborah

Thanks Deborah. I've heard so many women tell me that. So, I'm just hangin in there and hoping for any energy I can get at this point. Coffee seems to help a little bit.

Coffee...LOL...my answer to all life's problems. I was tired for months also. Make sure you're getting enough 'fuel' or you'll have a double-whammy on energy. Feel better soon, and take things slow back at work. -BG
