Day 6: Back to work!

I survived my first day back at work!!! It's not like I was in the trenches, digging up sewer lines or anything - I was sitting in the AC in my office all day doing super important marketing stuff. But still, I survived.

I am actually not as tired as I thought I would be! I was a little tired during the first half of the day, but then instinct kind of kicked in and I woke up some and finished out the day. I even stayed until 5 and didn't try to sneak out early as I sometimes do! Go me.

The hunger is still there, but I have kind of started trying to ignore it. It dawned on me that I had this same issue when I started the pre-op diet! I was tired and grumpy and starving and wanted to die, but then after a few days my mind was like, "oh. ok guess whining wont work" and it accepted things for the way they are, and was grateful for the food I DID eat. Maybe that's the same thing here??

I go back for my post-op on Thursday, and I am wondering what Dr. A is going to say about my incisions. He used skin glue and it's now starting to come off....... I have no idea if that's supposed to happen! I don't mess with it on purpose, BUT the other night I woke up scratching at one of them. Hehe. Whoops. They don't hurt or anything, so I guess the one that's completely uncovered and the other 2 that are half way uncovered (the port one is one!) are ok the way they are.

Ahh well, I'm off to bed to fight the good fight another day!

I was banded on a Thursday and went back to work on Monday. I felt a little sore from my incisions but nonetheless I made it a whole 9 hour day. I too sit at a desk in the AC and made it a point not to move too much. Try to keep drinking water and not think about eating. Its hard, but once you start dropping weight, you'll love it! I also had those surgi tape thingys on my incisions and I couldn't help but to scratch them. They will fall off on their own in the shower or as your rub lotion around them. One of mine lasted 4 weeks!! Good luck to you!!!
