Attention February 2013 Sleeve Buddies!

[sara-seeking-sleeve 76]

At the nutrition class I had to attend, they really emphasized that you could go back whenever you felt ready---the big HOWEVER was that you needed to still focus on your Water intake and Protein intake. Most jobs don't allow us to drink and eat constantly so that was the one concern my NUT had. Lots of people get dehydrated once they return to work because they get busy and can't drink like they are suppose to. Soooo, just drink up and stay hydrated everyone:)!

My doctor recommends 3-4 weeks off which isn't going to happen. I've got 2 weeks vacation time and I'm using all of it.

Lucky you! Mine does not kick in until you have reached 30 days off. Meanwhile they take all your sick time. When that runs out they take your vacation. Stinks!

Oh wow. Ours kicks in after 3 days.

I'm under a year at my job, I started in April. I would be covered by fmla by then but i'd still have to use all my pto until my fmla kicks in, no point when I can just save my time off and then 6 weeks after I get back from work my pto resets. Yay me!

Am I the only one that's mind has been taking over by this surgery. My every thought is consumed. I'm sooo ready to get this journey started. I feel like a kid waiting to go to Disney. My bags are packed and I'm sitting in the car waiting on mom and dad to come on. Lol.

OMG me too I am waiting on my loose ends to get all tied up and I think about it all day it even made it hard to enjoy my christmas to the fullest
