4 weeks out

Hello!

So I am four weeks post op and feel great. I found a little part time job that gets me out of the house on weekdays and close enough to home ans the beach that I can commute. Its an office manager position for a livery business and its a lot of fun actually. No stress. Lots of computer stuff and scheduling and ap/ar....ya know...the things I do!

I still have neck pain on my right side.  I tend to favor it in colder weather....and its been so cold in Boston this week thus far....rainy and gross and no end in site til the weekend.
Dave bought me a new bike this past weekend!  Can't wait to use it!  Will more than likely use it at the beach or on the rail trails locally.

Eating small meals is the way to go after gastric bypass.  If you eat just slightly too much, it comes back up.  I've experienced this a couple of times thus far and its not fun. Cottage cheese and yogurt are my go-to foods of choice because they ate packed with protein and I have to eat upwards of 60 grams of protein a day....my nails are amazing!
 
On another note....Dave and I are not adopting right away.  I am physically not ready to run around after kids for now and we can try to get pregnant in a year or so and will only be 38 (respectively) and can always still adopt at that point. It was a tough decision to make but we are comfortable with it!

So off to work shortly.  Have a great week all and I hope to write weekly as I get into the new rhythm of my life!
