Been back for a MONTH already??

Jun 28, 2011

So ...as I am sitting here at work.....I realize....crap .....I've already been back to work for a month!!   WTH!   I feel fantastic!!   I have not had a problem with any food or liquid I've tried! of course things could change at any moment, but for now......wooooo hooooo.!!!   I had a small issue with dehydration.....but that was my fault for slacking off on the fluids when i got back to work.  I just didnt think about it.....big mistake!!  wont happen again!  

As for  weight ....well....I must have hit the week "stall" week.  :)   To be honest......I havent been weighing my self at all....I have just noticed my clothes fitting different and people asking if I have lost weight.  So, I'm happy. I want it to come off, but I dont want it to come off to fast. I want to give my skin time to tone up and conform to my bones....LOL!!    Like I said....I feel great!  

Being a month out from surgery.....I have to say the time has just flew by.   I kept my self on liquids and mushy foods the first couple weeks.....but by the  third week .....I WAS HUNGRY!!   I started slowly eating solids and meats and breads.....I loved it all...my taste buds have been intensified 200%  ..   Everything tastes so good!!   I cant get over the flavor of food!  So, eating normal food ( healthy food)  has probably slowed my weight loss a little, but I"m still only getting about 800 calories a day!   I was doing great with protein there for a while.....then of course being at work......I slacked off and didnt get in the protein I should have.  I havent felt bad....but I dont want to take any chances of loosing my hair!!   

I had my one month follow up with Dr. V....lost another 10 lbs since he saw me 3 weeks prior.   Pretty good if you  ask me!!.   I do A LOT of walking and working in the yard now that I have clearence to do whatever I want too!!   I tell ya....i think the hardest part for me was being down!  I hate not being able to help out or plant my flowers, do laundry,  lift a baby.....I was miserable untill I got my clearance.   Well, that's about it this time around.   I hope some of my experiences help some of you other sleevers!!
