Lisbeth/4 Week Follow-up Visit

[Guest guest]

Hi Lisbeth,

I think I'm finally back now. One of my goals during my recovery,

though, has been to help my dh find a job. He was unemployed for a

year and then decided to go back to school for his Associates degree.

He finished up in December and has been looking for a job, but with

the economy slump, no one seems to be hiring. I thought maybe while

I was home I could help him by searching the internet and creating

custom tailored resumes.

So, that has used up a lot of my computer time at least the time I've

even felt like sitting at the PC...

So how have you been doing? I've thought of you too and wondered how

you fared with your Open DS and if you bounced right back better than

I didn't!

No, I can't believe it's been a month!! Pretty amazing stuff, this

surgery! I still cannot believe the difference in my eating habits!

When I think of how I could sit down with a HUGE bowl of pasta, or

plate of Mexican food and just polish it off -- I can't even *fathom*

anymore how I used to do that! No wonder the weight just comes off!

Sure I miss eating some things, but I have never told myself I cannot

have something. If I really feel like eating it, I have a few bites

and that is enough! Amazing.

Well, I hope to get my dh working and then have more time to spend

chatting with y'all. I usually respond to my emails first, so if any

newbies out there have any questions for me, that is the best way to

get me. I've been getting a lot of inquiries from people who have

stumbled on and read my profile page. I am so glad to share this

wonderful info!

Thanks for hanging in there with me, my dear surgery sister!
