Going back to work!
Jan 29, 2011
I am three weeks out and am going back to work! I am still having pain on that left side but it seems to be getting better. I have some concern about getting all my nutrition on the days I work. I am gong to have to really concentrate on it to stay on track. I went to the occupational health nurse Friday to get the all clear, and she warned me about letting my blood sugar drop. She said that seems to be happening a lot for folks at work who had RNY. I haven't heard anything about that.Now, being only three weeks out, my weight loss has stalled. I am trying not to worry about it. The doctor told me it was coming. My husband tells me I need to get out and walk, but I just haven't felt like it. It is a nice day out today and I am going to go for a walk. It seems that my side hurts more if I am up and about. Don't get me wrong... I am still doing my daily stuff (washing clothes, dishes, straightening the home) but the more I am up the worse it hurts. So I guess I am going to have to push myself some.
I have had two or three episodes of pain, and agony after eating. I think I may be eating too fast. And I feel like I need to sip something to drink while eating. I know that is a "no no" but I feel like I am going to choke if I don't sip. Does anyone have some suggestions for me? I am doing great with staying on track with what I eat. I even took the twins to a birthday party at Chucky Cheese and had no problem with not eating. I was so proud! What a change...I have always been the mom hovering over the table trying to get a bite here and there. But those days are over!!! Thank you Lord!!!
I can wear some of the clothes I put away two years ago. It is so exciting to put something on that I know I couldn't wear. It feels good. I'm sure that feeling will continue. Can't wait for this stall to end.
Ta ta for now! Love to all!
Kim
