Week 4

This week I have started to get my life back to normal after my surgery.  On Thursday I started working again part time and I am starting back full time on Monday.  I just worked until noon on Thursday but then I went home and fell asleep for several hours because I was exhausted.  

On Thursday I went for a walk with some of my friends.  We walked around the lake by my house and it was a 4km walk and I completed it.  Unfortunatly I think it was a little bit to far because I left work at 11:30 am on Friday because I was so tired and then I was still so tired on Saturday I could hardly stay awake all day.  So I guess that was a little bit too far for my first walk that was farther then a walk around the block.

So because I walked so much on the Thursday I was completely wiped out and slept most of Friday and Saturday to compensate for this but I am glad I pushed myself and am planning on doing it again this week.

On Monday I had my 3 week follow up with Dr. Birch.  He was very happy with my weight loss so far and said I looked a lot better then I did when I was discharged.  I actually have colour on my face.  It is hard to believe that it has almost been one month since my surgery.  I have taken some pictures so maybe on Friday I will post them since it has been one month that day.

Also I have been back to work.  I am trying to do it full time but I have not made it a complete day yet without thinking if I don't go home now I will fall asleep well I am driving but I just have to remember I just had major surgery so I am entitled to take it easy for a little while.
