Very Bitter



Recommended Posts

I just do not know who else to talk to. I have exhausted all of my friends and family on this topic and have now started seeing a counselor.

I hate my job!:drool: the people are so mean. I do not fit into their Barbie doll cheerleader mold. That does not bother me as much as the plain rude actions and lack of respect. I work in what is supposed to be a professional setting, but it feels more like Misfit Island. It is not just the women; the men are awful as well. I will not go into all the gory details, due to no one has that much time to lose reading about these losers. It is very easy to say oh just find another job, but good paying jobs are not to be found in my area at this time. :w00t:

It is so stressful both my mental and physical health are paying for it. I am on Lexapro and it helps, but no amount of drugs can make a bad situation better. I try real hard to keep a positive attitude, but by the end of the day I am beat down again.

I do not know what I want from you guys except to let me vent. Oh by the way I went to the HR dept. it was the biggest mistake of my career. I am very frustrated!!!

How hard would it be to get a new job you'd be happy with?

I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time. I know most of us with weight issues tend to be insecure as it is, and then to have to work in that type of environment can be even more stressfull. I am surprised that your HR department was not willing to do anything to help with the situation. To me, that seems like they are setting themselves up for a possible lawsuit by failing to do what they are supposed to do.

I would keep all my options open. Get your resume out there on monsterjobs.com and careerbuilder.com. Set up an account to where it emails you daily job postings that match the requirements you set up. You never know when your next perfect job may open up.

In the meantime, feel free to vent here whenever you need to. I wish we could do more to help.

Look at it this way; if you lose some weight you can be thin. But they cant do anything to change from being assholes!:drool:

      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.
