Doc put me on high dose of Iron last week. Since then I can't sit still. So I'm looking for stuff to do. Still can't bend all the way over. I'm now an expert at picking things up with my toes and keeping a pair of long tongs handy! How ya doin?

Was it routine blood panel that showed low Iron? I'm glad you got your energy back. Sometimes healing is so textbook. When the doc says 6 weeks, it's like 6 weeks to the day and I'm all good. Lol. Power of suggestion? Mind over matter? Probably just biology of healing.

I am great other than no poop :( I'm taking some heavy duty laxatives and still nothing. Drinking a lot. Eating Fiber. Doing all the things I'm supposed to. It'll happen I'm just getting uncomfortable and bloated. I'm going for a walk while the sun is here. Maybe that will help!

Sounds like it worked fast! I'm fighting the Constipation monster so thinking about taking iron makes me hurt :)

It's going to sound gross, but I ate some greasy food. It helped me go and made it come out easier!

Went into my job yesterday to turn in my RTW slip, I was floating on air at all the compliments I got! All my Black friends wanted to know "what happened to your ass!" Love it! It was great to see my work friends! Can't wait to get my boobs done!

Got my preliminary hospital bill Fri. $54,000 I wonder if they jack up the bill because you have ins. I haven't got the PS bill or the Anesthesiologist bill!

Lol. Yes, booties are very important to us. I've unfortunately never had much of one, kind of an apple shape. If I get plastics when I'm done, I buying a new butt, too (Brazilian butt lift, not implants). I live in Iowa, though, so I might have to go to Atlanta or Chicago to get the silhouette that I want. ;) Anyway, congrats to you. The pics are very inspirational.

I was off 6 weeks, I was only suppose to be off for 3, but I had all those issues. I work in the cash office at Walmart. I just never realized how much twisting and turning and reaching I do. Still can't pick up heavy stuff off the floor yet. Maybe in another month or so, I don't want to take the chance of reopening my stitches again, It's almost healed up.

Going back to work is a sudden spike in movement. From the getting ready, in/out of transportation, walking, the actual work....so much more energy out. Hope it's your Friday and you get to rest up :)

      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!!
