Back to the real world....

Apr 06, 2009

Well, today was my last day on disability, back to work tomorrow.  I am SO ready to go back.  I was running out of things to do, lol.  Maybe that's a sad commentary on my life, but oh well.  I think I will do so much better (not that I'm doing badly) when I have the activity of being at work, hopefully walking at lunchtime or working out before/after, and not so much time on my hands.  I think I've been eating a bit too often when I've been here at home with time on my hands.  I just GOTTA remember to drink often.  Today I logged in for work just to get a bit caught up for tomorrow and it was already 3pm when I realized I hadn't even drunk 8 oz yet.  Not good, 

So, I've lost 34 lbs since surgery (1 day short of 6 weeks) and 139 since I started my pre-op reqs last May.  Not too shabby, but I think people expect me to look like way skinnier already, having lost that much,  Me too maybe, but it's ok for now.  I have been able to pull a few things out of the closet I wasn't able to wear before, am wearing two size smaller pants, much easier to walk, etc. 

Oh, and the g-tube was NO big deal,  It was out before I even realized it.  I was so dreading it.  I suppose though, that's been a running theme here.  Everything so far has been sooooo much easier than I had expected.  You'd think that's a good thing, but I wonder sometimes.  Time will tell.  Till next time....
