Back To Work Tommorow--Need Words Of Wisdom



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow is the big day. Back to work after 3 weeks recovering from VSG surgery. Planning to weigh and pack my lunch and Breakfast. Sip on my Decaf tea throughout the day. I'm worried about being tired, running out if energy. Any advice or words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. By the way, I'm a hospital pharmacist, the job can be mentally and physically demanding at times.

It sounds like you are prepared and ready! I guess my only words of "wisdom" would be to make sure you take full advantage of any breaks you are allowed, and perhaps consider replacing some of that Decaf tea you are sipping on with Protein Shakes if you can tolerate them. You'll need energy and the calories and Protein in a shake will help you out. Good luck!

I agree that it sounds like you're well prepared! I went back after 2 weeks and was more than fine but I have a desk job. Hopefully the extra week for you will be enough.

My words of wisdom: I actually like the routine if work days because I find it's easier to get my Protein in etc. So that might be a positive for you too!

      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.
