Almost Ready For Work



Recommended Posts

I have the same question. I'll be going back to work next Tuesday and planning to keep a stash of low carb slim fast, Water, yogart, pudding, cottage cheese & fruit at work. My office mate has a small fridge so that helps alot. I also want to buy a small portable blender or mini food processor to have on hand. Found some good ideas on this link:

I Will Be On A Soft Diet When I Return To Work And Was Wondering How You Guys Set Up You Meals At Work

We've got a break room with a refrigerator, so I just bought little individual sized containers of cottage cheese to keep in there. It was easy to just grab one of those. When I first came back to work, I was eating at my desk while reading Lapbandtalk.

We've also got a blender in the break room that the body builder guys in the office use to mix their Protein drinks. I used it to mix my drinks also, telling them I was just trying to increase my Protein consumption. If I hadn't had a blender at work, I would have bought a stick blender and used it for the drinks. I love the stick blender I have at home, and use it way more than the regular blender.

I always prepared my foods at home and put them in the fridge at work. For Breakfast, I usually have grits or oatmeal and a yogurt. I made a yumy chicken salad (recipe on here from Georgia Girl) that I'd blend up so it mushy. I also kept Jello on hand. If I didn't bring anything I'd go to Wendy's and get a potato - that was good for a change. I made and still make sure that I don't have Water in front of me while I eat. If it is in front of me it is hard not to take a drink. I am much more of a "planner" than I was before. I used to just wing it.

Good luck to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
