O' my Goodness!!

I just went to my first post op Dr. appt. 11 lbs down!! How cool is that!! I can't wait for my next appt. I am feeling abit tired. But besides that I am good to go!! I am going to try to go to work tommorow. I work with my brother so I know that I will be taken care of. I am very excited and wanted to share with you fine folks!! Thanks for listening!! Donna P

Donna- Congrats!! I share your surgery date. I am glad to see that you are feeling tired. I am kind of surprised how tired I still am. I got out and about today with the family...but I came home and CRASHED! Anyway, congrats again on the 11 lbs! Linda

Thanks, Linda!! Today was my first real outting. I came home and crashed too. This can kick our butts!! We will do better soon. To a fellow 26'er Donna P

Donna ~ That is FANTABULOUS! Keep up the great work!!! Keep sharing. When I started coming here, I loved reading about peoples sucess and trials and tribulations, that is what makes this place cool.....other people's perspectives! ~Robin

Robin, Thanks!! You are so right. I love reading everyones differant stories. What they lost and their first WOW moments. Yours was on the 28th? How are you doing? donna

Hi Donna- Congrats on your weight loss. You are doing wonderful. Remember to take some time to rest when you go back to work. Take care, joyce

Joyce, thanks. It ended up to be a hald day at work. So it wasn't to bad. I will see what becomes of monday. I will take plenty of time this weekend. Thanks, Donna

Donna, Congratulations!! We share a surgery date and the same results for the first week. I am in awe of you that you can go back to work so soon. I am still tired. I feel better now that I am drinking protein shakes, but I made a brief trip to the store yesterday and a doctor appointment, and I am exhausted today. I don't work for a family member, so I am staying home a bit longer until I feel stronger. Best wishes for your continued success in your weight loss journey. Keep on posting!! Linda

Linda, Thanks. To my fellow 26'er!! Congrads on your loss as well. It is a very good start for us!! Please don't be in awe of me. I only went back becuse my family needs the money for one and I work with my brother. I know that I would be watched carefully. I only did a half a day. It ended up to be a bit much for me. So I will see what monday brings. I hope that you feel more rested with every new day. I think that you are right. It is best ( if you have the time ) to feel stronger when going back to work. Thanks for your thoughts. Donna

Donna, I do feel better every day. I made a few short trips out on my own this week, and I am getting stronger. I confess to not doing enough exercise, and I know I have to change that practice. I work for the state, and I have to drive 45 minutes each way to get to work. That means I am gone 11 hours/day. I have been able to save up a lot of sick leave, and I have decded to use it to give myself the best chance of success. By the time I go back, I have been on soft foods for a few days and will have established an exercise routine. I hope. Best of luck to you and don't push your self too hard this week. Linda
