Went back to work today. I have a desk job for the most part but I am sore!! I tried on pants today thinking they might be loose but they weren't, even though I lost weight. Maybe I am still swollen? I really shouldn't have worn pants with a zipper and button because it's digging into my incisions. I have my zipper half unzipped! Anyone going back to work remember to wear loose, stretchy, comforatble pants! I am so tired and sore..but the good part is that my office is nice and cold and it's hot outside!! Tomorrow I move onto mushies!! I can't wait to stop bythe supermarket to get some things in!

I went back to work today also. (4 days post op). I'm a teacher, so I explained to my students last week that I might be walking a little funny because I was having surgery on my stomach. It's funny - they've been popping into my classroom off and on all day asking "Need Water Gordana teacher?", "Gordana teacher okay?". Bless them.

One thing I have noticed that I'm doing is I'm walking around with my hands resting on my belly, or sitting down - as if I'm heavily pregnant. Normally I'd NEVER stand in a way that might draw attention to the beast!

Oh - and yes, Elastic is your BEST friend right now!

I went back yesterday, and luckily I have to wear scrubs. That has worked out really well because my jeans were rubbing one of my incisions too. My biggest incision is right where my bra hits though, and that has been a little bit uncomfortable. Too bad I can't go without a bra!

Funny because my bra seems tight too! I was thinking I can't wait to lose weight in my boobs!

I wore stretchy pants today-much better! Belly is still tender though and all my bandages are still on.

I look like a battered woman with the bruises from the IVs!! I bruise really easily!

*Gordana - I use to have a classroom and I can't imagine going back 4 days post op! That's so sweet that the kids are concerned!

I've read a lot about people saying that their bras are uncomfortable, so I went online and bought and all hosiery bra with no underwire from Spanx in anticipation of this. (actually i bought 2!) I've tried them on and they are super comfortable and though i haven't had my surgery yet, it seems to be like it's not going to be overly uncomfortable as opposed to my mammoth bras. 12 days till surgery. I'll let you know how it feels when time comes!

I know my stomach is still super swollen, I am shopping for one more pair of stretchy pants before I go back to work on Mon. I seriously look like I am 7 mo pregnant.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
