Can't Wait To Work Without My Legs Hurting At The End Of The Day.



Recommended Posts

I am a teacher and on my feet all day. Tonight, as I was grocery shopping, my legs were hurting. I realized how much better they will be feeling once the weight starts coming off.

I'm down 40lbs after my 10/16 sleeve date and I can tell you for sure that relief starts immediately - I can't imagine how great it will be next year at this time. Good luck! I'm a corporate trainer do more forgiving than your role but painful to carry this weight nonetheless. I can already tell a huge difference!

I teach as well. What do you teach? What is your plan to navigate the school year and surgery/ recovery?

I teach 6-8 grade English and history. My principal and co-workers are so excited for me and are being very supportive. I am having surgery on the 17th of Dec. Hoping to just miss that week and one after the break.

I'm with you on that! My date is Dec.3 and I am on my 2 week pre-op diet. Funny how each surgeon is different about the pre-op process. However, it's working for me!

I teach English also! A lot of people that I know have told that they felt great after just a couple weeks. I'm sure you will be able to get back to work within that time frame :).

      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.
