WOW, what a difference a week makes. I've come to realize that a tonsillectomy at 38 yrs old is nothing to sneeze about. First of all, I had such issues with the meds that I had to go back into the hospital this past Tuesday for severe dehydration. I took three IVs of fluids and was released on Wednesday morning. Needless to say, I feel GREAT now. Once I rehydrated, I felt so much better. I started eating again Wednesday and have been since then. I still am avoiding any foods that are hard to swallow (chips, nuts, popcorn, etc.), and after the followup this Wednesday I should be good to go.
Funny thing about surgery is the recovery time. I went to the store today to get groceries with my youngest son and by the time I got done and got home, I was SHOT. Felt like I had just done 45 minutes of cardio. Funny really. Maybe losing 11# didn't help either, but it did help my ego a little. My belt was a little bit looser this week, so I guess it isn't all bad. I guess it does take time for the body to recoup, but I am still surprised at my lack of conditioning for anything right now.
I head back on the road after the first of the year, so I am hopeful to lose the rest of the weight I gained with the job change back in the spring. I put on 15# this year, all GUT weight, and I wasn't happy with how the heck I looked. I was heavier than I have ever been in my life, so it is time to take some responsibility.
