Well. It's the end of December already.
I went back to work part time on Dec. 2. My hours have gradually increased and tomorrow I am back full time. It has been a huge adjustment. I've been incredibly exhausted. I feel like the biggest wimp, but I'm just tired. And that's just how it is. :).
I have lost 45lbs so far in total. The weight loss has slowed down to 1-1.5 lbs/week. THAT is healthy, and so I'm pumped!
Since my last post a few things have changed.
My hair and nails.
My nails are now breaking due to the lack of nutrients while I was in the hospital. I was also told my hair may start falling out 3 months post op. due to the trauma my body went through. I wasn't prepared for this. I've always had great hair. Until now. My hair is falling out by the hand full. I've got bald spots. I will have to cut it off.
Oh well. I keep telling myself... It's just hair.
Another thing that has changed is the amount of pain. It has decreased significantly. I'm on medication to help with the healing of my intestines after the internal bleeding. The blood loss and tarry blood left in my intestines did some damage. But I am finally on the mend.
So I get asked repeatedly... Would you do it again? The answer has changed to a definite "yes"! Overall the weight loss feels absolutely unbelievable!! I would go through it all again to feel this good! (But I'm REALLY happy I don't have to!!)
