Back To Work Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Took two weeks off and back to work tomorrow. Worried about peoples reactions. Told everyone I was having surgery but didn't say what for. When asked I said I didn't want to discuss it. Only one person knows the whole story. Not sure why I am so worked up about it. I know an hour after being there it will be like nothing happened. Just dreading the first few interactions.

Most people have very short memories! Depending on how you respond to their curiosity they may not even react or care enough to ask :)

Glad you had a good first day back! I know the worse part for me back to work was getting tired. People I work with were really great. They were happy to see me and just seemed to act like I was on a 2 week vacation.

      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.
