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!!

      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.
