Back to work

Aug 20, 2010

Well, I went back to work on August 10th.........about 6 weeks after my surgery. It's been hard to remember to drink alot of fluids so I'm working on that now. As of August 9th which was my last appointment, I was down 40 lbs! still have a long way to go but not bad for 6 weeks. The doctor was very pleased. All my labwork came back good except for my protein level. She said it was a little low so I have to try and get more protein in my diet. UGH!! that's the hardest thing for me!!

I feel pretty good other than my incisions are still tender and sometimes if I don't chew well I feel like a big lump on my left side inside. Not sure what that is? is it my food? or is it stool? I have no idea. I have to ask the doctor. I told her last time and she made my lay down and she pressed and made me sit up. She was checking for a hernia but nothing! so who knows!

My next appointment is in September so we'll see how much I've lost by then. Fingers crossed!
