Got laid off 1st day back to work from surgery



Recommended Posts

Wow,, just wow...I can't believe he said that after your surgery. I bet something better is in the cards for you. Look at it as an opportunity for a great change. You will be changing inside and out as it is...here's to the new you!!!

He is a jerk plain and simple. I KNOW something has got to be better than that place. I'm feeling better, a lil' more confident (I'm 15 days post op) and ready for a change. Thanks for the nice words! I appreciate it!

How awful! Love the use of his terrible pun there. I'm sorry! I will probably be fired from my job soon as well...

I really hope you don't lose your job also. Hang in there!

I'm not sure if this was answered already, but where are you from? Doesn't FMLA protect you against getting laid off? Or, maybe it wouldn't even be worth the fight anyway. :-(

I'm in Dallas/Fort Worth area. I didn't take FMLA because I wasn't out of the office very long.

Not all changes are good but be sure that along with your weight loss and a new job, you will be motivated to make all kinds of changes in your life. That's what it is all about. Good luck to you and may your next job be your dream job.

      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.
