Back to work today after 5 days of post-op



Recommended Posts

As soon as I walked in people were like, "good to have you back! Were you sick or something? You looked thin!" when I heard that, I knew I was doing something right. Even though the liquid stage is annoying its amazing how people notice the difference when I can't see it at all.

Lol...I got bored at home although at the end of the day I questioned myself as to why I came in to work. But Im glad I did because I walked a lot; going to the cafetaria, the bathroom, conference room, the bathroom, the mailroom, the bathroom...lol..I guess all that walking gave my stomach muscles a workout....but yeah, watch out for the gas...the poor guy in the bathroom stall on my left had the unfortunate experience of being a auditory witness to my *ahem* trumpet solo...

THAT is precisely why I cannot go back so soon, headed back on Monday...by then I hope to be done with running to the restroom in haste and able to make zero noise....grumblings are pretty loud too

glad you got back, for me, still too soon, 4th day for me, not sure what to say

Nean - Thanks! The doctor assured it will be ok, but we all have different pain thresholds (and I like pain once in a while :thumbup: - its a tattoo thang), so he told me its up to me if I can handle it. Just dont be on pain meds while driving :unsure:.

Fluffy- Yeah, flatulence is "evil" but it feels good. I used to get embarrassed but then I realized, wth, im in a bathroom and its my body, its anonymous and I just let it out without remorse...your body will thank you. Good luck!!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
