    Imstarving got a reaction from BarrySue in I wait tables, how long till I can go back to work?   
    FLA applies to companies with I think it's 50 and more employees, I think gastric surgery is a voluntary and might not give the rights as an emergency would, sorry to be negative, I gust giving something to research, I wish good fortunes!

    When you want to quit remember why you started! You will have cravings,You will desire what you shouldn't have, Be strong! and just think about what you put in your mouth before you do, I take comfort that I'm not alone with this tough task, there are a lot of people that are in a tougher situation than us, you made the right choice by having the surgery, It was a big step in the right direction You put yourself on for a healthier future and I'm sure for a longer life, Just keep being strong and continue to make the choices and you will see results every week. I was second guessing myself also but I regain my focus and saw that i put myself in the situation I was in to need the surgery,Then when I eat I get full quick and that's my safety net that catches me and keeps me on track! Protein first and veggies second.
    I wish You the very best! and remember you are not alone!

    Imstarving got a reaction from lealor in I'm one month out almost!   
    I had the same issue, really nasty and painful, 5 days I dealt with that very severely.
    I had become Lactose intolerant since I started the program but then it grew into something more to do with all dairy,I got sleeved 7/14, I bought the lactose free Protein powder and drink and lactaid cottage cheese and milk,that stuff was destroying me! The fifth day I switched over to egg white powder and stopped all dairy products, then I took metamucil at the advice of my dietitian to tighten things up, it all worked! knocked it down to about one third of the problem.
    you can try Benefiber, this has no flavor so it can be mixed with anything.
    I saw my surgen today,He said I am doing great,healing up nicely,my stomach is growling and moaning because I need to eat,so have at it,follow stage 4 and go easy, then he said he's not worried about me at all and that he'll see me in 5 months and see my nutritionist soon, I call her and she said have a hard boiled egg or some ground turkey in chicken broth, I went with the egg. I'll tell you it was the best damn egg I ever had! I went for a second and couldn't finish it,Hahaha
    But definitely call your Dr.and or Nutritionist to be safe,this is what we pay them for.
    Best wishes
