1 week post op back to work



Recommended Posts

1 week post op.. I went back to work today, I have a desk job in a dental office. Super busy after being off and getting caught up with insurance and referrals although I did great. I noticed it was hard for me to try to get in my Water being busing. My co workers kept asking me what I did last week on my week off. I just feel like I don't need to share right now or ever..

This is my personal business.

Thats your perogative. But remember one thing... if you keeo it a secret and it gets out then you look like a liar. oh well who cares what they think/./ we all know that your surgery was just a tool so you can fix yourself. You still have to do the work.. if you dont do the work then you can go back the other way.. This is a lifestayle change!! So who cares what others think.. I dont...

Good for you! I went back after two weeks and it went very well... I am a para and have a pretty active job. I was tired after the first few days but did well other than that. I wasn't really planning on telling many people at work, but word got out pretty quickly- gossip spreads like wildfire at my job! It is completely up to you if you wanna tell or not, I totally get not wanting to.

Good for you! Keep it up. I've used a silly little timer to help me sip & sip again. And don't worry about your co-workers right now. Let them know when they ask that you've changed your diet and tell them what it is - and that's not a lie! But just remember, if you tell one person all the details then you should tell them all. Some will be supportive and others won't. Those who won't are the ones who have already been critical and we can let them bother us. Yet have supporters at work will help long-haul for accountability ans encouragement! Keep it up!

      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.
