congrats on getting back to your normal morning routine :)

you've progressed slowly but surely these past 11 days :)

these last 4 days before going back to work...........try and slowly move around more - staying up all day

gradually get back into the groove so you won't be overwhelmed on friday :angry:

that being said - sneaking in a couple of naps during the day would be nice too :)

12 hour shifts (nurse??)

any chance you can take another week off, or at least a few day???

or "maybe" go back and work 1/2 days for a week???

good luck

I got the hair done and a partial makeup accomplished today, day 8 for me. I'm shooting for the whole shebang on Thursday for my follow-up appt with surgeon. LOL. Shoot, I have fever blisters so bad that I really don't even want to leave my house at all. Woke up with them on my first morning home from hospital.

      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.
