I'm headed to work this morning. I'm stressing about it. I work in a stressful environment. I know the job hasn't changed, at least nothing major had changed. But I have, I've been off of work for three months (had a surgery before my bypass). Guess I'm walking in. Positive thoughts.

I hope it went better than you though it would.

I head back to work tomorrow and am a little nervous about it as well.

Thank you for all of the support... the day went well, nothing has really changed, just some new faces. As soon as I got on the unit, it was like I never left. The worst part was getting up so early, and walking into the building. After that it went well.

And I drank so much Water, which had been an issue while at home. I don't know why it was but at work it was easier to get in almost 64 oz.

Kelcified I hope your first day goes as smoothly as mine did.

My first day was good. I was able to get all my Protein and fluids in. Walked around on breaks and took a few minutes a couple of times outside of breaks to walk as well.

      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.
