One thing I am learning 10 days out is that I set the rules. If I need to stay home and hibernate that is what I do. I also have been getting lots of exercising walking the neighborhood and that has given me energy. On the day of my surgery they woke me up at midnight and made me walk. I was in the hospital from Thursday until Saturday and made to walk the entire stay, since I got home I have also walked at least 1/2 mile a day whether I feel like it or not. It makes me feel better but my surgeon says the bigger gift is it helps prevent deadly blood clots. I need sleep and to rest when I need it and those around me have to be supportive of that. Sleep is so mandatory to healthy weight loss as I learned in psychological counseling. Good for you trying on clothes, I haven't yet as I am waiting until what I have to fall off loose.
