I see your weight is dropping soccer mom! Good for you. How are ya feeling?

In a word? Grumpy :) this too shall pass!!! I was actually whining earlier because I lost 3 pounds the week I had surgery while watching others who have like 10+ lb losses during that same time frame. But again, 3 pounds gone is three pounds gone! Physically I'm good. Went to the grocery store today, exhausted by the time I got home but even with the walking, shopping, loading, unloading had no real pain, just a little stiffness (I only lifted a bag or two at a time). Ready to be back at work but my MD harassed me into taking off today and tomorrow so back to work Wednesday! Yay!!!! But I am moody!!!! Easy to tears, not feeling myself, not liking this part!!

Soo... I can rest assured I can go back to work relatively soon?! I took off 9 days, just hoping. Hormones must go whacko after this surgery. You have given a lot of insight and I appreciate it!

No major lifting or straining and no major complications I'd say yup (and your doc says so of course!!!). I am doing 1/2 days wed-thurs-fri....but I cannot imagine I won't be ready to roll next week. I think part of my 'blahs' today is just being home away from my co-workers and patients. As crazy as they make me some days, I love em all (mostly!!!).

Just found out that my paperwork is only getting submitted today to insurance. I'm really hoping that this doesn't change my surgery date again.

If it does I'll be pretty upset.

Just want to be on the losing side so bad.

Pre-op I only needed a 3 day liquid diet. Tomorrow is surgery :) but awful exhausted from lack of calories these past 3 days. Head feels a bit foggy. So glad my surgery was moved up to the morning from 2:45 in the afternoon! I now applaud all who did this pre-op diet for 2 weeks and I have no complaints for my 3 days!! Congrats to those who just went through and Carpe Diem to those going in this week!

      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.

      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!!
