The main thing I have been dreading about going back to work is the attention. Only a couple of people know that I had a VSG, when I had my gall bladder removed and hiatal hernia repaired. A couple of people mentioned to me that they could tell I had lost weight. One doctor told me in front of the nursing staff that I was becoming eye candy. His words not mine. I could have died. I didn't think the weight loss would be so noticeable so soon.
I had my first follow up with my surgeon. He says I am progressing well. He wants me to continue on liquids and get in those protein shakes. I can't wait until week 5.
Overall, I feel much better physically. The largest incision is almost completely healed. This week's weight loss is 1 lb. I weighed in at 226.4. I was a bit disappointed but I know I am doing the best I can for me right now and my body has been through a lot and this is a part of the process. My total weight loss is 24 lbs down since surgery.
