I'm having surgery on 8/31 and will be back to work on 9/5. Alma said I should be fine as I have a desk job. Also, several peep I've talked to here went straight back to work with few problems.

I did tell my HR Manager just incase I do need to call in sick, but I'm not anticipating it.

Thanks everyone alma is great spoke to her and also said I would be ok one on the 5 latest 6th day she did say everyone is different but I'm also not anticipating any complications I'm a nurse and I pass meds so I don't do heavy lifting and I would be able to sit for small breaks. Nonetheless I'm praying and hoping I would be just fine I know It might not be the same but I endured a lot of pain when I delivered my daughter no anesthesia what so ever and pushed her out in 15 minutes was on my feet the next day due to my daughters condition but I'm hoping a similar recovery ????

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
