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 :)

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?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
