Bills, Bills, Bills...come every month like clockwork....wonder if we can tell them.."look, I just had surgery...and my doctor won't let me back to work yet...so your just gonna have to give me freebies this month" :P

Like THAT will ever happen...and if you do take off...bills get behind..and ya NEVER get caught up..I hate that feeling. :blink:

So, only recourse is...I will go back after 9 days and when asked to do something....learn the word "I'm super busy, can you ask someone else.....wait...no one smart enough in my office to handle it....geeesh!! Losing battle here!! :huh:

I had my surgery on 10/27. I took off five weeks. I only work part time. I probably could have gone back at three weeks but doc wrote me out for five so I am taking the five weeks. It has been nice to get used to all the new things in my life.

I had my surgery the same day CheleLynn45. There is much to get accustomed to isn't there? I went to Thanksgiving at some long time family friends that I haven't seen since the summer. When I walked into the kitchen, the husband remarked Whoa...where's the other half of you?! It was nice to have my body changes acknowledged...but the interesting part is not everyone says anything....and I like it!

I have noticed now that people want to be closer and engage with me more. It's not like I was a pariah but the interesting thing I've noticed in people's behavior is if they think you're more successful at whatever in life they decided is important...they want to engage with you and are more endearing...like yesterday, I went to see my NUT and she was smiling the whole time, telling me how great I looked, made a compliment that I was smart, fun and cool. Then before I left she was hugging me. We always had good productive visits before but her happiness at my progress made her feel so much closer to me to express it. It was a nice surprise, but a surprise nonetheless.

I worked 11-3 then had surgery 11-4 stayed out the rest of the week then back to work 11-10. No issues other than being tired at night. All is going well even though i seem to be dealing with nausea. I simply used PTO.

I went back to work 10 days after surgery and was fine. I have a desk job, but am up and down a lot. I didn't have any trouble, but I did go to bed early each night.

A little more than five weeks off. I work in a prison, so I was in no hurry to return.

      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!!
