back to work Monday

[Grammy271 1]

My surgery was on Monday the 14th and I go back to work tomorrow Monday the 21st. I feel great, but I really dread going back to work. I think I have spring fever lol. I live Ga. and the last few days the weather has been amazing! I wish I had taken FMLA instead of vacation I could have probably squeezed at least another week out of it. Oh well! I am a little worried about the liquid diet that I am on. I have a desk job in a busy office and sometimes bathroom breaks are few and far between if you know what I mean (liquid in liquid out).

I can certainly relate to the Spring fever and i have online classes....but ever since my surgery 2/28/2011. I can't seem to get it together...but lately I've been reassuring myself that I'm still working on my health family and career......Anyway the best of luck and success with your band, family and career.....

Grammy.....I live in Georgia as well. I was banded on 3/15. I'm scheduled to go back to work tomorrow as well, but I'm thinking about staying out a little longer. I just don't feel real well. I travel with my job and I"m on my feet a lot throughout the day. I'm afraid I'm gonna over do it and be down. I haven't felt well yesterday and today. I think I'm so sick of liquids that I'm somewhat depressed. Tomorrow is day 6 and I think I'm gonna go ahead and start Cream of Wheat. I've lost 18 pounds since my surgery Tuesday and I"m very excited about that....but I'm just frustrated with the post op diet!! Ok, now I'm just whining....Sorry.

Congrats on the weight loss and I feel your pain on the liquid diet. I have lost 15 pounds since my surgery. I am also dying to eat something with some texture. I am having a hard time with protien shakes I can not stand any I have tried and believe me I have tried so many in different flavors and still not one that I can say tastes good at this point I would settle for ok. Sorry the whining must be catching lol. Good luck with your journey and I wish you much success!

Thank God I was on mushies when I went back to work. Talk about not being able to go to the bathroom when you need to.....I'm a teacher - can't leave a roomful of kids to go potty.

I hear you. I was banded on 3/10 and I went back to work last thursday. My first day back was one of the longest days I have had there. I was just tired and wanted to go home. I recommend taking it slow. My boss know about the band and I worked out a little arrangement with her. I broke my lunch up into two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch. If your boss knows about your surgery ask him/her about taking an extra break here and there or seeing if they can manipulate your lunch time too. Keeping up on fluids is important so hopefully your boss will be on board.
