6 days Post-op and new job

Jul 31, 2011

Well I'm six days Post-op, and I'm about to head out the door for an orientation meeting for my new job.  Thankfully my family, who lives about 2 and 1/2 hours away, is still caring for my baby; so I can look forward to resting once I get home in the afternoons this week.

I think I finally found a protein drink that I can get down (most are yuck) and that doesn't give me too much gas on my stomach.  It's the CVS brand vanilla protein.

I'm still not feeling myself emotionally yet.  I wasn't prepared to feel like biting everyone's head off after surgery.  I pray this gets a LOT better before I get any students on Monday.  They already have issues of their own and don't need a cranky teacher to boot.

I'm going to call the bariatric center's office today to ask about my menstruation issues.  I had my period just the week before surgery, and then I got it again this Thursday night, except much worse. 

I want to end on a positive note, so I'm going to write what I'm thankful for.  I'm thankful that I came through the surgery safely.  I'm thankful for a husband who has been good to me.  I'm thankful for my baby boy.  I'm thankful for my mother, who has been good to me through the surgery as well.
