How many weeks off work is everyone taking?





I'm taking three, only because I have concerns about fatigue. I'll definitely work from home a little the first week and may go into the office part time next second and third weeks. Just gonna play it by ear and see how I feel.

You are doing really well! Looks like you have lost almost 100 pounds already.

Thank you, I was hoping to hit 100 before surgery but looks like I will come up a couple of pounds short. I didn’t want to waste my pre op time, it’s been a long journey to surgery.

I am having the surgery on March 9. I am very nervous/excited also. I would like to have kept my surgery a little more private but have received a lot of advice from a coworker who is a fellow sleever. So instead of assuming they will keep my confidence I have been pretty open about it. Also my mother-in-law, who can't hold Water, saw my obesity surgery folder. Normally I am very private person so this is a little uncomfortable for me, but I am hoping it will help hold me accountable.

I’m March 9th as well! Where are you located?

How's the pre-op diet coming along for everyone? Today was day 8, and I have to say, I had a ton of energy. Today was the first day I actually felt great. And I'm down 8 pounds so far.

I am on Day 5 and I have a lot more energy too. I'm down about 3-4lbs since Day 1 but I'm on my cycle now, so I'm bloated. Can't wait to see how much I lose in total before surgery!!

      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.
