Congrats Jilly, I've been thinking of you

Congrats!

Saw your post on OH and was glad to see you're on your way.

Thanks, everyone (especially the Bluesers!!)!

I'm still doing well - had my 2-week follow up today, and the nurse said I'm perfect I will be returning to work on Monday morning, which I am nervous about because I know it's insanely busy (I've been checking my work email daily even though I am on PTO). I really don't want to go back to a hurricane of work, but I have no choice (I am the ONLY person at my company who does what I do, which is why I didn't plan on more than 2 weeks off to begin with).

Anyway, my incisions are just about healed (4 laparoscopic cuts and 2 drain holes), and the nurse even said I could take a bath if I felt so inclined since they were healed so nicely.

I do have one spot of pain still on my lower right side that can actually bring me instantly to tears if I twist or turn just right, but she said to give it more time.

I've lost 18 pounds in the 2 weeks since my surgery. I was 308 on surgery day, 300 last Thursday when I had my drains removed, and 290 today. I am about to break out of the 290s, hopefully for the last time ever!

I'm so proud of you Jilly, can't wait for you to say bye to the 290s, 280s and all the way down

Hey Jilly,
You gave everyone a bit of a scare. I am glad to hear that you are doing well. Sounds like you are on the road to a healthy lifestyle. Congratulations!!

I just saw this! I'm glad your surgery went well....looks like you are dropping the weight at lightning speed now!
