Scouts and work -- wow is right! Hope you have an easy Tuesday and no evening meetings. Take good care of yourself this week. Maybe some one can take the kids out for supper and you can put your feet up.

I'm so glad your first day back went well! It is crazy how life doesn't stop even when we do! Glad you were able to jump right back in :)

How many days after surgery did you wait to go back to work?

We are super short handed at work rt now and the timing of my surgery was not ideal, but it was planned b4 unseen circumstances occurred. It was a kind of now or never thing for me b/c if I didn't have it last week or this week it would have been months b/c I'm also in school and we have presentations and papers that are due and I have to be in tip top shape for those!

Anyways, I am trying to figure out when to go back. I have taken a week, but hope to not need it all.

Well...I do not have kids if my own...???? But I have 15 4th, 5th and 6th grade Girl Scouts and 40 1st - 5th grade Cub Scouts!! And each one is just as AWESOME as the other!!! So, it was OK. My girls were all head strong for cookie sales and money plans and the boys...well, lets just say...they were CrAzY little boys with a TON of energy lady night. Love Then ALL!!

Hey BT!! That was the same with me!! We are severely short handed and I had used a HUGE PORTION of my off time for the PRE appointments getting ready for the surgery!! So, I had my surgery on a Wednesday morning and went back to work the following Monday. That gave me 5 days w/ the surgery day. However, I have a desk job so I wasn't standing for long periods. But, the days I was off...I RESTED!! I walked to take care of the gas stuff and the lung stuff...but NOTHING else...my TV Remote, Kindle and iPhone were all but attached to me!! GOOD LUCK!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
