I organized the garage, cleaned out my service van, ran some controls related service calls (under the radar), irritated the heck out of the wife.......that's about it so far.

Hopefully I get clearance to return to work at next Wednesday's post-op Dr. visit.......I'm goin' nuts.

I was sleeved last Wednesday and I'm really bored already. My kids are keeping me busy though and are happy I'm home more. I haven't been sleeping the same since before surgery so I.have even more time being up early everyday.

If you can afford it you could always take a vacation..... Even if its a stay-cation and explore your town. That way you would be moving your body. We all wish for time to do things in life, but when we get the time we sometimes forget what we wanted to do.

Have fun!

What did everyone do while off work?

I was off for a month. Took the maximum days allowed by my employer. Stayed in town, but ran errands and got a lot of personal things done. I go back tomorrow. Figured I would be okay since my employer supplies me with most of what I need.

Life of a mother :) I am blessed with an amazing husband who is hands on when he's home and my parents live with us so they helped out a lot.

Rest when you can :)

      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?
