    I am so stressed out over my surgery . I have a great paying Job and position.. Late July , I had to have a full hystorectomy and took off 8 weeks . A week and half after my surgery my mother was really sick and in the hospital for a little over a month and she past away Sept 10 th. I had asked my boss for additional time off .
    My sleeve surgery had been scheduled for Oct 3 , then pushed back to Oct 12 .... I did not tell my boss about my sleeve surgery . I just told her that I needed more time and I would be back to work on Oct 22nd . A 3 days before my surgery date I got a call from my Dr. saying that my surgery was canceled because of new Insurance requirements and I would have to see my nutritionist 4 more times at 1 visit per month , I was very upset but I said Fine. I had estimated that if I needed 4 more visits , I would probably be schedualed until late Jan or Feb 2013 .
    So I went back to work and this morning I got another call from my Dr. office saying that , they had spoken to my insurance and everything was approved so my new surgery date would be Nov 13 ..... Now I dont know what to do with my Job , My boss is in the process of opening two other locations and wants me to oversee all three centers and is giving me a raise ( I was making a decent salary before ) when I came back to work my boss cut the hours of the 2 other women that had taken over my position . and asking for time off again , at this time would look so bad on my part.What do I tell my boss ?
    It's not that she wouldnt understand , but the type of buissness that I work in , requires a manager at all times, so I would have to be replaced again and trust me when I tell you that those ladies want my position so bad , there was alot of tension when I came back to work. what do i do??

    I am so happy to see the numbers on my scale go down , I was sleeved on Nov 13 ,2012 . My starting weight was 237 , after the 14 days pre op liquid diet and day on my surgery 222 lbs , Today I am 210lbs. I am thankful that everything has gone well so far no gas pains , vomiting or dumping . The incisions are less sore.
     
    I did my week of only clear liquids and yesterday started to transiton into full liquids , I was worried how my stomach would react to the slim fast protein shakes ,since some people have stated that they are to thick , but I did okay , also added a cream of celery soup but I used the lactose free milk , only because I didnt want to have a neggative reaction so I played it safe. I really enjoyed having the sugar free fudge bars, I don't really feel hungry but sometimes the smell of food makes me feel like I want to eat and I wish that I could ( I have to wait at least 2 more weeks to have solids ) maybe sometime next week I can move into puree foods ,although I feel that my stomach can handle it now , I dont want to do anything that could interfear in the healing process of my stomach.
     
    I am very eager and excited to see what happens to my body in the next few months , wondering if I will continue to lose once I start on puree and solid foods . My clothes are starting to get loose , I wish I could go get a new smaller size pair of jeans but I dont want to put any preasure on the incisions on my belly.
     
    Thank you for reading my journey , I wish everybody all the best .
