I'm just at a computer all day. I had my surgery on Monday went home from the hospital on Tuesday took all of Wednesday off and then today I worked from home. I plan to go back to the office tomorrow. I was pretty tired today but I feel awesome most of the time so I figure I might as well head back.

I have lots of lifting and pushing/pulling too... I just hope I can get accommodations for a few weeks

Just don't over do it! Make sure you listen to your body.... sounds like you do quite a bit of physical activity. Good luck to you

Thanks! Yeah I work in a "man's world" hahaha good thing about that is I've got quite a few of those boys wrapped and they are usually pretty good about handling the tough stuff when I can't or just don't want to so I'm sure they will help me out if I tell them to

I'm only going to be off a week. I am a teacher ands one have a choice I have to go back to work on Monday. We have those lovely state mandated tests in two weeks and I have to be there. So spring break was my only time unless I wanted to wait until summer and I want to be skinny by then!

      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.
