Well, it seems all the difficulties I encountered the first 8-10 weeks are finally subsiding and I am doing really well!  Exercise is my new LOVE - this is exactly the transfer of addiction I was hoping for!!  (haha)  I have lost 50% of my weight - only 66 lbs. til I hit my goal.....amazing

Taking some time for ME :-)

Sep 11, 2009

I'd like to say Thanks to you OH buddies who have reached out via email and blog comments to tell me not to rush back to work just yet.  Today I let the office know I will make an attempt on Thursday 9/17, as long as I feel up to it... and I must say that I feel better having finally made that decision. Now I no longer have anything hanging over my head - and I can worry about more important things like , um, getting all my fluids in each day :-)  Today one of my best friend's came over with her weight watcher's cookbook and we found a bunch of great recipes to make and freeze.  These are going to be great since I chose things that have flavor and can be pureed easily and frozen. This way, when I do go back I will have portioned containers of healthy food to grab when I need to and I will be able to stay on track and juggle work and RNY...hahaha! 

Well thanks again everyone for the support!

Today is exactly one week since Sx....

Sep 10, 2009

...and I am very excited that I have lost 11.3 lbs.  Actually the word AMAZED is more like it. I just kept staring at the number in disbelief.  Over the past several years my PCOS has made weight loss atttempts seem so fruitless I guess I didn't really believe that even this surgery would do the trick, but that assumption has been challenged and happily overcome!! 
I have to say I had many unrealistic beliefs prior to surgery, like the belief I would be back to work by today....What the ****was I thinking???  It was the guilt of taking time for myself, doing anything just for me that would cause others to work harder or be inconvenienced......violins please? :-)    Well, I have taken the first step to overcome that one by delaying my return to work at least 2 more days........will I go back on Monday???  We will see.....
