Starting back at work tomorrow :(



Recommended Posts

So it's been just over 3 weeks since my sleeve, and tomorrow I start back at work ... Mixed feelings about that, on one hand I enjoy my job for the most part , on the other hand it's work and I would so rather stay home lol

I went out today and brought some new tops and underwear , not to many though just kind of transition ones for a while anyway :)

And my wonderful husband brought me a new handbag to start work with it's this lovely black leather one and cost $239 !!!! I couldn't believe it when he said I could get it :) I'm so spoiled I love him :)

I am struggling with food at the moment, every time I eat I feel sick and over full even if I am only getting 2 bites in I am really over it , but I have a follow up with the dietion on Tuesday so I will talk to her about it then.

Also haven't had a poo in like 9 days now and I am taking fibre so a bit annoyed with that, but then I think well if I am not even eating then there is nothing to poo right ?

Apart from that I am doing good :)

Photo is of my handbag lol

Oh I'm right there with you. I start back on Monday. I don't want to go back!!!

I so loved my easy mornings, my daughter loved riding the bus to school instead of going to before care.

I slept a lot and didn't feel good but it was still better than working!

Good luck to you.

Are you still on puréed foods? Do you drink coffee?

      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.
