2 weeks out...back to work. Ugh!

[allaboutme77 8]

Had surgery 2/27. Two weeks ago today. I lost 16.5 lbs. Woo hoo!! 6 inches overall. I am wearing clothes that I hadn't worn in a while cause they didn't fit. Very excited! A little nervous about being at work with a new routine. The crying and thoughts of not "making the right decision" the first couple of days are just a memory now. Went to the gym for the first time yesterday. Spent 30 minutes on the treadmill. Couldn't believe it. Things are looking good so far! I want to say thanks to all you guys on this site. Reading your posts gave me a lot of strength the first few days when I was down in the dumps. Happy now!

Hey good for you! First week back was hard for me - super tired by the time the week was over but it got easier really quickly! Good luck!!

Good for you! I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and it's already starting to feel like a distant memory. I went back to work a week after surgery, and within hours it was like I was never gone. I keep a jar of Protein powder on my desk, and a small drinking cup. Most of my coworkers know what's going on, and they are keeping the newly-arrived girl scout Cookies out of site.

Be well...

So happy to hear how well you are doing! Good luck going back to work! I went back after 2 weeks as well. The first week back was really hard mainly because of how exhausting it was (and I have primarily a desk job....lol). Just know if you do feel exhausted, that it will get better!

Don't get me wrong, work is a drag this time of year, but the new compliments I have been receiving have been very nice and very welcomed! Glad you are doing well and have supportive co-workers!
