congrats on getting back to your normal morning routine :)

you've progressed slowly but surely these past 11 days :)

these last 4 days before going back to work...........try and slowly move around more - staying up all day

gradually get back into the groove so you won't be overwhelmed on friday :angry:

that being said - sneaking in a couple of naps during the day would be nice too :)

12 hour shifts (nurse??)

any chance you can take another week off, or at least a few day???

or "maybe" go back and work 1/2 days for a week???

good luck

I got the hair done and a partial makeup accomplished today, day 8 for me. I'm shooting for the whole shebang on Thursday for my follow-up appt with surgeon. LOL. Shoot, I have fever blisters so bad that I really don't even want to leave my house at all. Woke up with them on my first morning home from hospital.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
