Going back to work

I took off on FMLA in December 23 because my depression was getting the best of me. My pcp increased the anti depression pills and for two month I just ate and ate getting even more depressed because I could no longer fit into any clothes. I went on short term disabllity and in february a light bulb went off that I can either eat myself to death, or find help to lose weight.
I was going to get the lap band for 10000 and be home the same day locally. Then I saw the mexico advert and flipped over to the sleeve on March 3. I am off all my anti depressants and ready to go back to work. It has been 5 months., I start Wednesday with a better outlook on life and down 50 pounds.It is a high pressure sales position so I hope it does not stress me out like it was before the surgery. I have to make sure I take the right food to eat and not skip any meals. I will tell my coworkers that I went to Mexico because they are very supportive. I have worked there since 1995.
Wish me luck fellow sleevers.
Laurie
