Back to Work Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

:) :mad: :D:)

Well, alas....all good things must come to an end!! I was fortunate enough to have two weeks off after my surgery but the time has come for me to return to work.

Okay, truthfully, I will probably be happy to go back (I was getting bored - I'm not used to sitting at home!!) but sometimes there is a lot of crap at work to deal with (like for everyone, I'm sure)...but I'll muddle through.

I'm hoping I don't get too many questions (ppl don't know what I had surgery for and I don't intend on telling them; not their business).

Anyways, all that to say....I've had a blast spending a lot of time on here while I've been home. Due to a firewall, I can't access the site from work (this is prob a good thing!!) but I do intend on staying on top of things in here whenever I can from home. I will check in and try and throw in my two cents here and there. I've gotten a LOT of helpful info from here and I for sure want to stay "connected" and use it as a resource as I continue my journey. Who knows, I might even be able to contribute in some positive manner!!! hehe.

So, tomorrow, I strap on my combat boots and head off to work!!!

Thanks everyone!

:) :)

I'm heading back tomorrow myself Yoda! I am pretty sick of sitting around the house and am looking forward to have the usual challenges of the work day.

Good luck to you tomorrow! Let us know how it goes! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
