Definitely depends on the job. I have a few different part-time jobs. One is from home, so I went back to that one after five days. The others i went back to after 10 days.

@@JenniferPenelope Well, I had pain Friday night while sleeping and the last thing I ate a few hours before bed was greek yogurt. I ate 1/2 cup over an hour so it wasn't a matter of eating it quickly. Then yesterday for lunch I had some oatmeal with a bunch of milk. It was really watered down. While I may have eaten it too quickly, based on the night before the common denominator is lactose. I had eaten oatmeal Friday with much less milk and it didn't bother me.

I seem to have developed an issue with lactose now. Fun.

I got one but I don't see them as being just for 'old' people. I figure it's better to be safe than sorry...and I have other things that should be on it that I never bothered to do. So now I'm covered.

@@Lemm61 I hope it's smooth sailing going forward. My update is that I am home as well after surgery on thursday. I've had some waves of pain here and there. It is much harder being home than I thought. And I think I am kind of in denial that I've done this. So weird!

@@AmysShrinking Me please!

I had my pre-op assessment stuff yesterday and we are proceeding as planned. June 2nd! I'm starting OptiFast today. Not a fan.

I'm in my preoperative assessment appt. Very exciting. One week to go! Sent from my SGH-I337M using the BariatricPal App

I start Thursday. I can have 4 shakes, broth, and decaf coffee/tea.

I'm in owen sound. Great timing! In the grocery store and picked up the coffee. Thanks! Sent from my SGH-I337M using the BariatricPal App

June 2nd, RNY. I start optifast next week.

I'm not post-op yet, but for the past month or more I've switched to skirts. They are just so much more comfortable in comparison to pants with a belt. The downside is that I have to shave more.

Mine is June 2. I don't really have many fears. I am trying to get stuff in order just in case I die but that's more concern about the people I leave behind. I am worried about the emotional part after. As it is I struggle with depression and anxiety that is currently well managed. I keep telling myself that is a small part of the bigger picture.

I don't have any advice. I only have one week of it and start that in a bit over a week. I hope it improves for you.
