katiev629 20 Posted October 4, 2013 salad works for me as long as I chew chew chew. I had surgery on a Wednesday and went back the following Monday but I did work from home instead of going in. I too have only shared the fact I was having surgery with family and close friends and I wanted to avoid the question during lunchtime. If you do go back, make sure you have flexibility to walk as needed. This will help eliminate the gas pains that sneak up on you! Good luck !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
