Oh God bless you flrosie, brazilangirl, and Ginger!! I pray you ladies get to feeling better real soon. Today I'm back at work and have had my moments of nausea but it passed and I am here at my lunch sipping on broth. My incisions are itchy now. I've had to wear a slip with my clothes to keep them from snagging on the sites.

I chose not to tell my boss and coworkers what I did and today they knew I was out Two days last week. My boss even called me in to see if I was doing ok. Part of me wants to shout it out and the other just wants to quietly do my thing. Still not sure what I'll say when the weight loss is noticeable and someone asks me how. Maybe I will maybe I won't, I'll wait til that happens

Rest up and get better soon y'all!!

3/20 for me. At this stage my incisions are itchy, too and I like the idea of wearing a slip or camisole under my shirt; thanks! Otherwise, my energy is good and chest is no longer tight due to doing my breathing exercises.

It was helpful for me to remember frpm previous recoveries (childbirth, etc) that the upward climb isn't gradual (at least for me). You really go from feeling UGH to "more normal" quite rapidly. On Saturday I felt so low I couldn't take a walk outdoors, but on Sunday I got up, went out and picked up the Sunday paper and strolled around the neighborhood.
