worked in (as in going to work) ?

i did.....and took extra clothes and immodium AD to work

as i found out that liquids in means liquids out (was on liquids 2 1/2 weeks pre and 2 weeks post)

I think most people work during the time frame of the preop diet. There is no reason not to. Did I misunderstand the question?

[Fluffnomore 1,235]

Yes. But I work from home and mostly on the computer. I did find that working out during that time was really tough.

I fully intend to work during mine. I have my surgery on a Monday and my last day of work is the Saturday before and that's only because my employer is closed on Sunday during the summer. I also plan to go back to work after a week. That's my plan anyways, it may not happen that way.

if you are concerned about OP seeing what you are or are not eating.............

get used to it

2 weeks before surgery you will be drinking the shakes

after surgery, you'll be eating differently with "mush" pureed, soft and finally solids

people might be curious (nosey) about why you are eating what you are

get used to the "possible" stares/questions

if i didn't tell someone i had WLS - i would tell them i am trying to lose weight (i/you probably have said that before)

special diet - liquids, Protein et al

if it still bothers you....

knock it off

you are the one that counts!!!

and this is the way you'll be eating for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life

good luck with surgery

speedy recovery

I plan on working. my whole pre-op diet is one month .... hopefully it goes ok! I'm trying right now to increase my Water intake. I'm going to the bathroom a lot. I've also got myself off caffeine. If anyone is trying to get off caffeine, increase your Water intake to at least 5 bottles of water a day and that really helps with the headaches.
