I am just curious as to how long will you generally be out of work. I am a front office manager for a pain management physician's office and sit on my bum 95% of the day. My office has only been open a couple of months and my helpers would be lost without me. I seriously think my office would go under ( not being conceited at all just telling the truth )!

I'm an office manager at a car dealership. I had surgery on a Monday and returned to work the next Monday. But my surgery and recovery was exceptionally easy.

My office's owner actually told me that I need to schedule my appointments on my days off since I only work 3 days a week. I have had 2 major back surgeries in the last 2 years and my surgeon is only in for follow ups on Wednesdays. I just had back surgery in June and I got in trouble for having to go on a Wednesday. I'm just afraid of losing my job since I don't have FMLA yet and who knows when we will get it.

      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.
