Hi everyone,
Just for my own records and in case any of you were wondering:
4 days short a month out of surgery:
- down 22 lbs and 1.5 clothing sizes. Averaging 5.5 lbs/week - extremely fast and this will slow down as I am able to eat more.
- able to eat almost anything I did before - no issues with nausea or intolerance. Missing the times when I can sit down with awesome food and socially eat and visit, but it's not overwhelming and it's easier to push those feelings away than I expected it would be.
- feeling GREAT, fully healed, energy levels are high and general mood is "astounded". Haha..
- confidence levels are already improving. More comfortable in clothing, rings fitting on new fingers, facial definition that I forgot I had..
- going back to work on Monday the 19th - curious to see if full days of kid-slinging are realistic or if half days will be how I have to start.
So that's that!
One of these days I will do a more detailed entry about the actual process and hospital stay but for now, I'm off to decorate the cookies for Chels' lunch this week. :)
-J. xx
