Two Weeks Flew By! I'm back at work...

It actually feels good to be here.  Yesterday I drove to the outer suburbs for a haircut/color.  I ate soft food yesterday - the next phase!  I had oatmeal w/ protein powder in the morning, like I've been having.  But at noon I mixed a quarter cup of tuna with light miracle whip and YUM! Did that taste good.  Then I had a small portion of a curried chicken stew a friend brought over.  I ate it slowly and enjoyed it.  I'm never hungry - which is so new for me.

Life is starting to get back to normal, and I'm feeling better, if a bit more tired, every day!

Wow Mary I am impressed back to work only 2 weeks later. I was off work for 10 weeks due to staff infection. I hope everyday goes as good as today is going for you. I hope to see you at coffee again real soon.





Hugs,
Dorothy

Mary:

I really do appreciate your upbeat attitude.  I was off work for three weeks and I think I slept for most of the third week.  I felt fine, but I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I hope you have a perky wek at work.

Mary -
I'm not surprised you are back to work so quickly!!  The way you were maneuvering on Saturday  was like "look out world here I come"!!!  Hope I do as well.  Keep up the good work.

GREAT JOB Mary!

You are a huge encouragement to those on the board who are close to surgery and are feeling apprehensive about going back to work with only a few weeks break.

RP is correct, your positive attitude must be contributing to your quick healing and overall good feeling postop!

Keep up the good work, and looking forward to hearing about your progress. I hope to get my surgery date this Tuesday!

Best wishes,
Shannon

You go, girlfriend!    I'm so happy you continue to feel good and are getting some real food in!  Hope to see you Sat in Roseville.

To the others that are getting so close you can taste it to your WLS:   Good luck, stay strong, and I know you will do wonderfully.   Hope to meet all of you before too long
