    trailtramper got a reaction from Tanyatata in Surgery and Working   
    I am in middle management in a big law firm. My people are spread across nine cities, so I travel a lot. My surgeon says I will be out for one week. Although I have a lot of discretion when it comes to being out or working remotely, I don’t want to get behind. My days are long enough as it is. I lucked up. My surgery is scheduled for 11/17. We are closed two days the following week for Thanksgiving, so I get ten days, which should be enough.

    The surgery fixed your body but it didn't fix your brain. Coping mechanisms can be hard to find. I manage the urge to snack mindlessly easier during the day than I do at night. First step is identifying it. You know if it's real hunger or not, and if it's not you need to find something else to do. Period, end of story. If it's during the day (light outside) I go for a walk, then I make a hot cup of tea in a mock bakery flavor like caramel apple to curb my craving. Finally, I sit down and work through whatever is causing me to feel like I need to cope. It's not always easy. I write a lot. I find it's hard to use my hand to shove food in my mouth if I have a pen in it.

    Hi Zoxie and Angy,
    I am new to the forum and have surgery scheduled for 11/17. My preop diet will be Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes for two weeks. I am doing a trial run this weekend before my edg. I have a demanding schedule as I am sure most do, so I am also trying bariatric products I ordered from Bariatric Pal and Amazon. I can’t do whey Protein, so I am doing Bariatric Choice Liquid Protein, Bariatric Advantage protein Gelatin, Gene Pro flavorless protein, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, apple juice, and Water to keep my energy level up. I have also ordered B12 Patches for preop to go along with Multivitamin patches for post op. Naps help. I also read and saw on YouTube to take lip balm to the hospital. My hospital allows GasX strips or melts.
    Good luck to all! I hope we find great success and an easy recovery.
