Back to work in the morning

I have lost 21 pounds. The only thing that I can really drink right now it filter water. My pills in the morning is just a little hard to take. So I am taking them one at a time, after eating something. We have to learn how to do things all over again. Tomorrow will be my fast day back at work. And I wonder what that is going to bring. Right now, life is one day at a time. I will not try any new foods of drinks, unless I am at home. But Thank you Lord for being there for me. If it was not for you I will not be here today. I am loving my new life. This year I will lose that weight that I always say I am going to lose.

Brenda- I had surgery 12-6-04 and returned to work full-time 12-20. I worked the whole week (nursing supervisor) but by Friday, I came home and crashed. I took a two hour nap,which I very rarely ever do. Last week I did much better. I found it challenging, trying to consume all my liquids and protein that we are suppose to intake because with my job I am being called upon it seems like continuously. I would make my breakfast, (cream of wheat) sit at my desk , then have to run off somewhere. By the time I came back, I would end up throwing it in the garbage(cold and stiff) yuck!! I now take my protein drinks and sip on them throughout the day. I am so excited about losing weight,and feeling healthy again, I just cannot wait for it to happen, but we must be patient! Good luck tomorrow. Jackie

Congrats on your loss! Good luck in returning to work! Let us know how it went! xoxo Melissa

Dear Brenda, I go back to work a week from this Monday and I must say I am very nervous. I am still getting used to all of this not to mention the fatigue. I am down 33 lbs. since surgery date of 12/17/04. Plus I am dealing with the whole "head hunger" issue. I do billing for the hospital system here in Mpls. so I will be sitting on my behind all day. That's not what makes me nervous it is the emotional stress after the first day. I do understand how you feel and even though you will get this answer late, I will pray for your stamina. They say God knows what your prayers are before you pray them. Good luck and update me please with any tips that I can glean from you ok? congrats on your weight loss--You go girl!
