Returning To Work Today....



Recommended Posts

And I am VERY nervous! By now the whole office probably knows why I was out of the office. I tried to keep it under wraps but unfortunately when you work for such a small company and the acting office manager is a gossiping snipe- things have a way of getting out. And even if some at work don't know, when I get there today my 25 pound loss is very obvious in my face. But honestly, I don't care who does and doesn't know. Those who care about me have supported me through this and they are the only people that matter. There will be naysayers everywhere in life why should my WLS be any different?

I'm only going in for a half of a day. I want to sort of ease myself back in today so Monday doesn't smack me in the face like a a trillion ton of bricks. Plus, I can't afford not to. By going into work this afternoon for a few hours it will enable me to work from home this weekend and help make up for some of the two weeks I've missed. Now that my classes have ended for the semester I really do plan to spend Saturday and Sunday cemented in work. Nothing like having a paycheck two days before Christmas that is only two days worth of pay! (I only had two sick days remaining and no vacation time.)

So, wish me luck! I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Have a great day at work my dear.. WHATEVER to the haters!!! People don't look down on drug addicts and alcoholics who go to rehab, or people who get botox and their ears pinned back....

I was buying a new robe and slippers last night .. and this other NOSY customer was inquiring about why... I told her I was having surgery.. she looked me up and down and said.. it's not the special WL surgery is it.. I said YES, and gave her a look that said .. heifer, you next word maybe your LAST!! LOL.. She quickly turned away and completed her transaction...

You are the only person who knows what it's like to be in your body.. Let me gossip, as you continue your journey toward a more vibrant life!!

Congrats on your weight loss!!! (I won't be back at work until Feb. 1, so I know all my students and co-workers will know..) So!! LOL...

I wish you have a great day back at work today! Good for you on easing back in.

It's so true no matter where you go or where you are there are going to be others who have nothing better to do than to judge others. Well, you are above all that, so to heck with all them! ;)

Never in a million years did I expect the reaction I got! No one really knew I was coming in today, I just went in to work a few hours this afternoon to get my feet wet for Monday. I walked through the doors and half the office came running! It was a reaction I never ever would have expected.

Immediately the girls who knew what my surgery was for started commenting on how they could see weight loss in my face.... And then when I took my coat off I got even more comments! Really?!?!? Seriously!?!?!? I was so happy! I feel like I worried over a whole lot of nothing. One co-worker didn't know I had come in because I snunk in at lunch time and she caught me walking by her cubicle and like stuck her head out to look at me... Later she came over to my desk and told me how happy she was for me and that she could totally see in my face and my back that I had lost weight and she was happy for me.

I hope these people aren't just saying these things to make me feel better! Oh hell, even if they are I love it! LoL. I was tempted to wear my brand spanking new size 18s, but opted to try and look more like a post op patient hoping for some sympathy lol. Monday I'll really wow them!

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words today. I don't know how I would have managed to leave the house without them- honestly!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
