First day back to work after surgery...anxiety...

[pamela 10]

Well, tomorrow will be my 1st day back to work since I was banded on the 19th. I would have been back sooner, but came down with pneumonia.

For some reason, I have been weepy all day when I think about going back to work. Sometimes my job can be stressful, but I have a good support system there, so I don't know why I feel this way.

I just don't understand this...it's like the 1st day of school or something...

Have any of you experienced this same feeling?

Oh they will be so happy to see you! Don't be nervous. I don't have a job ('cept at home) but my first Sunday back at church was kind of like that. But I wasn't weepy. Your body is still adjusting to being through so much and recovering from pneumonia and changing your calorie intake so drastically and just going through all of this! It's hard. Give yourself a break, and go in with a smile. You will be pleasantly surprised at 1)how glad folks are to see you and 2)how much life went on without you while you were away. Everyone will be busy earning their keep, and you will get back into the swing of things in no time. Plan on crashing on the sofa with a protien shake when you get home. You'll be exhausted! Rest plenty and take good care of yourself!!!

Sorry Pamela, I didn't experience this, but I went back to school ... And I was still very ill with breathing problems that I was probably too tired to be weepy...
