I return to work tomorrow- it's a desk job so I only took a little over a week off. Surgery Thursday the 30th and back tomorrow. I am nervous about how I'll do. I have packed my food for lunch and feel as prepared as possible.

In other news since surgery I have lost 22 pounds... That's 22 pounds in 9 days (weighed this morning). That is crazy!!

Holy smokes that is wonderful!! That is amazing! Good luck with your return to the office. Luckily my surgeon signed me out for eight weeks and STD will pay while im away. I plan to focus on me while out. I have a very stressful job as a hospital administrator so it will be nice focusing on me for a while.

I wish I could stay out longer but I had to use vacation time and didn't have a lot. Haven't been there a year so couldn't use medical leave.

For food tomorrow I packed a few things to have while at work- some Refried Beans with little sour cream- the Beans are my favorite right now, a premade Protein shake, and a sugar free pudding. I'm also going to pack some crystal light to sip on.

I have a very busy job though its all at my desk. I seriously expect a couple hundred emails when I get in. When I'm out for a day of two I end up with 60-80 so am not looking forward to that!

And now of course I'm having trouble sleeping. Having some incision pain on left side of belly button. It's not bad just annoying. I wish I had some pain meds left- at least maybe I could get some sleep that way. Stomach is making a ton of noise and so I keep thinking I need the bathroom but nothing is happening.

So I got about 2 hours sleep. I should have taken something to sleep I guess. The past couple of nights I've had trouble sleeping- anyone else have trouble sleeping after surgery?

The first week out I slept a lot and now nothing. I had no trouble before surgery with insomnia.

I was worried about getting tired at work today and that's a guarantee now as I'm already tired. :(

My boss is awesome- said if I need to leave just let someone know and go. I'm going to work just a half day today and leave at 12... 5 minutes from now. Having some gas and keep feeling like I need to hit the bathroom.

Called surgeon office today and they said the anesthesia messed up some people's sleep patterns and that I should get some liquid Benadryl or dissolvable melatonin to help me sleep. I can't have another night like last night!

Benedryl makes me drowsy enough to sleep. I was hospitalized years ago with some bizarre rare syndrome. I hadn't slept in days and they were afraid to medicate me because I could stop breathing. They gave me Benedryl, which just makes you drowsy enough to dose off. Afterwards Benedryl helped me get rest whenever I had trying times and couldn't sleep.

      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.
