One month post-op & back to work on Monday
Today is my one month surgiversary and I feel great! I am down a total of 47lbs whi*****ludes my pre-op but have lost 26lbs since surgery. I am heading back to work Monday and this weekend I am tasked with menu planning and figuring out what to wear! I already know some pre-op clothing and shoes are fitting too loose so I will be seeing what I have buried in my closet. I guess that is not such a bad thing LOL.
I think I will do better on my plan by returning to work (have struggled with water intake and vitamins). I can set specific times for vitamins, eating and drinking more easier than being at home. I tend to do better with structure in general so I am excited to be back on a schedule again.
At this juncture, beside the physical changes I've already experienced, I am most grateful for a clearer mental state. I was so ashamed of what I had become and how far I had fallen. But in this short time, I've regained confidence and now have a positive outlook on tomorrow.
I thought I was the only one who felt ashamed for "what I let happen to me".. I USED to work out, was in reasonably decent shape.. but somehow over the past 7 years.. things took their toll.. BUT I am on my way back. I am going back to work May 13th, I also took 4 weeks. I needed to be sure my energy level was back enough to deal with a busy TCU.
