10-20-2009.......... Back to work!!

Oct 19, 2009

So today was my first day back at work.....  (actually 10/19 - since I'm writing this after midnight).  Not too bad - I can't complain since I work on a computer all day and I work from home.  I probably could have even started back last week. 

I feel back like my old self....  the only reminders that anything has happened to me are when I get a little over eager about drinking my water and take in more than a sip, or if I eat a little too fast - since I'm off the pureed foods and now on soft stuff.  Both of these are mistakes that I have really only made a couple of times.

I'm only a bit worried b/c everything has basically been such smooth sailing since I came home from the hospital.  I have had virtually no pain, nausea, no vomiting, no soreness, several of my lap incisions have healed and there aren't even any scars, I haven't felt sick or weird or sad or depressed.  I feel like I'm waiting for something to happen......    hopefully not.  Either way, doing great!!  So far I'm down 23 lbs and counting......  I'm really working on keeping up with my fluid and protein intake - that's about my only challenge.

I hope all my other 10/7 surgery buddies are doing well and we all start dropping the lbs quick!!  :)
