I am just about 2 1/2 weeks out from a hysterectomy. I am doing okay. I am getting my energy back and the pain is gone for the most part and no more pain meds. I have gotten down to 111 lbs too. I am ok with that too. I go back to work in about 2 weeks. I don't mind the work, just some of the people of work with. They REALLY, I mean REALLY bother me. I would look for another job but I am starting back to college for nursing school too, so I work 3 12 hour days a week at the hospital as a certified surgical tech and go to school 3/4 time which is 2 full days a week which leaves me 2 days a week to grocery shop, clean and do all the other stuff I have to do and I still have a husband and a 10 year old son to take care of. My husband is going to have surgery on the 19th of this month, the day I go back to work, do you think I get to go with him? Not a chance. I am scheduled to work that day and I am the only tech on that day! Other than that I have been doing great, I feel good, I live like a normal person. I meet people and sometimes confide in them that I had the gastric by pass and since we are military and move every so often most people never believe that I once was almost 250 lbs and they have to see pictures to believe it and they are just amazed and then immediately they start asking about plastics for skin and when I tell them I haven't had a tummy tuck or thigh lift they just look at me and they are really surprised and for awhile they watch me a little more closely to see what I eat and how much and then things go back to normal. I am talking to 2 women who are considering the surgery -possibly either the lapband or the RNY but I am blunt with them, I tell them everything I went thur, the good and the bad times that it took to get where I am at today and it didn't happen over night. I think that was the hardest part for me. The waiting for the surgery then having it and then waking up to find that I was the same as when I went under, I mean I knew I would be but I wanted to be thinner, healthier.  Anyway, until next time something worht writing about comes along, I hope everyone is doing well on their journeys whever you maybe .
