Today was my first day back at work after a month off due to my LB and hernia surgery. All went well, went to lunch with friends and was not tempted, came home and had my turkey burger, but I must admit I was a little hungry when I got home, more head hunger than actual hunger. So I will have to come up with a plan for that, I think it is because I had my first protein shake at 5am, just made it seem later. Also, I am tired so I will be going to bed as soon as Big Bang Theory is over. Back to the grindstone. The positive note is everyone could tell I had lost weight even those who did not know I had surgery. I thought about my goals for weight loss, so I am hoping for at least 10 pounds a month till I get this baggage off me. Hope everyone else is doing well. Oh I should mention the shirts I usually wear to work were TOO big so, I wore a shirt I have not wore in a few years :rolleyes2:

Congratulations, Gregnir

Much success on your journey. Keep us posted.

That is very exciting that people could see a difference and that your clothes are too big. That is a great start

congrats to you.. can i ask why you took an entire month off work. It makes me nervous because i have surgery next week and i am only scheduled for 4 days off

Kimmy4040, I took a month off because I also had hernia surgery and I could, work for a great company took 4 weeks but could have taken much longer all with pay. Don't be scared, many people return in a few days, I was just a whimp and had the extra surgery.

i too have to have my hernia fixed at the same time. what is recovery on that surgery, is it worse than the LB? thanks for you help

Kimmy4040, the first week I know I could not have done anything much less even get to work. The second week, I could have gone to work, but would have been useless. It really was not till the 4th week that I could actually get around well. Yes, the hernia was the issue. The LB was a piece of cake, since I did not have any complications.
