Back to work tomorrow!! ACK!



Recommended Posts

Well my days of being a woman of leisure are up!! i head back to work tomorrow :thumbup:

What really sucks is right when i go back to work the weather is getting better and the sun is out shining (Tshirt and jeans weather! My favourite:cool2:)

I am feeling a whole lot better especially since they staples came out. i just hope I don't get uncomfortable sitting up for extended periods in a chair. I'm going to have some painkillers and anti inflammatories with me to be safe (as suggested at my checkup).

I'm back home now and it is nice being in my own bed...I spent the past few weeks at mums because A) she has Foxtel (cable tv) and :woot: she cooked meals for me and my dad :smile:

I just hope work isn't too stressful, just before I went on leave there were some problematic collegues causing grief...I hope they have managed to pull their heads in and be positive and encouraging to my team.

Well going to get my hair done (my roots are BAD :smile:)

Good luck going back to work. I know it is nice to be waited on!

I was exhausted my first week back even though I have a desk job. Just take your time and meds if you need them.

good luck back to work, just looking at your ticker, you are basically 1/3 of your way there, you have lost a good amount of weight, hope all goes well for you.

How was going back to work? I hope thing is going well!

It was ok. I have been very tired though by the time I get home. I have been trying to move a bit more because sitting in a chair can get really uncomfortable after a while!

But hey an NSV I've been able to fit into a pair of pants I haven't worn in probably 1 year or more!!:drool:

I've also been feeling a little sick by hte end of the day but that may be because i'm not burping and farting as much so I have it all inside by the end of the day! :tt2:

Most people have made comments on my hair...probably because it is an easier thing to comment on (a bit blonder than previous colours and it was out and nicely straightened because normally I can't be bothered and put it in a ponytail :unsure:) I had two girls comment on how much weight I'd lost, one who knows and another who doesn't know which was nice :tt2:

When you put it like that it is exciting...though I think that my real excitement will come when i reach 90kgs (7.2kgs to go) and below because i haven't been under that in about 9 years!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
