First day at work

Today is 10 days post op and my first day at work.

 

I was looking so much forward to go back to work!

I sit at a desk and oh my it was more difficult than I thought.

 

When I'm home, I'm leaning back a bit when I'm on my laptop or watching tv, reading or what ever. But today I had to sit up straight and it was difficult. It felt like my upper half of my body was just pressuring my incisions and I felt all kind of pain that I hadn't felt before.

 

When I came home it was so good to lie down and relax. My body was full of air and I feel that lying on my right side helps releasing the air.

 

I'm hoping tomorrow will be better, I'm sure it will.

 

Other than this little work issue, I am feeling ok. The energy is coming back slowly, after I began eating cream soup (thin). I've stopped loosing weight though, even though I am eating half the amount I used to do before the surgery. But I guess it's the survival system of the body, it's holding on to everything it can.

 

I've read that once you begin to eat more, the weight starts to go down again. But also the doctors don't want you to worry about any weight issues for the first month. It's all about the stomach pouch and trying to get some energy. After the first month when you get the fill, the real work begins where you have to watch how much you eat. I am ready for that work!! bring it on !
