I'm headed back to work tomorrow....

yup - it's true - I'm going to try and go back to work tomorrow. I'm am a little nervous because it a long day - 12 hrs. I have to be up by 7 am, make lunches for the kids, get ready and leave for work by 7:40. I take the bus into the city - that is a 1hr ride and then catch a shuttle to work. By the time I get to work it's about 9:30. I don't leave work until 5 pm and then the reverse commute begins. I usually get home about 6:30ish. I know that I'm going to be exhausted, maybe I will try and leave early. I also have to make sure I pack all the food and drinks I'm going to need for all day. I know that it has only be 10 days since surgery, but I feel good enough to go back. If I don't work I don't get paid and I need the money. All in all I feel very good, I'm amazed at how well i can handle many different foods. very small amounts but atleast i can eat foods (pureed). I go back for my 2 week visit on monday and I will see if I lost anymore weight.
I'm home....

Now is the hard part, trying to figure out what I can eat and what I can't. I lost 16 lbs on my pre op diet..... what a way to start of this weight loss. I can't believe I lost that much. I hope to keep it coming off.
2 more days to go.....

I went for my final blood test this morning. It was to test for blood type and antibodies, just to see if I'm sick. I am fighting a cold, I have a itchy throat and a few sniffles. I have been taking Zicam and vitamin c for2 days now, I hope it holds all the germs off. I'm at the point now where I want to get this done and move on. My liquid diet has gone well and I'm curious to see if I lost any weight. I don't weigh myself at home, so I won't know till monday. Well today I have to clean and shop for next week. I still have get slippers and a robe, I don't wear a robe so to me this is a waste of money. I still have to get some things for me for after surgeery. I hope to check in 1 more time b/4 monday.
The final steps in preparing for wls
