So what would happen if you, heaven forbid, had a heart attack? I am also at “ at will” employee as is my entire company and most places I have worked. I would say that you need some time of for a medically necessary surgery and leave it at that. Talk to your new HR person. Often at start ups the boss is ignorant of all the intricacies of employee relations and Your HR person may be better equipped to advise him/ her. Also the HR is not able to disclose any personal information you share. My HR office knows I was out for surgery but has no idea what it was. There is something wrong if you can’t take a week or two off for medical and live in fear of your losing job, even at a start up!

Although I work for a larger not for profit, your medical records are private and between you and the insurance company. My doctor also had non- Bariatric stationary for my note with something like Advanced Laprascopic Surgery on it so for all anyone know you had an appendectomy or gall bladder removed. Btw, I had my surgery on a Monday and aside from being tired coil have gone to work by Thursday.

I was sleeved on 8/27. On a pre-surgery visit I was waiting to see my Dr. There were health/ exercise mags and one food mag with a beautiful dessert on the cover. One my Dr. walked in, I held up the mag and said “. Really??? Does this belong here?” He laughed and said “. You life is not over after the sleeve. You’re going to live in a real world with real food choices. You’ll still be able to enjoy some of the foods you fo now, but as occasional treats in moderation.” Only three weeks out know only the restriction but none of the joys of weight loss success. I’m sure by next year at the fair, the new successful you, will be able to have a few bites of everything. Then when you get home you will drink your Water and hit the treadmill! When you see how far you’ve come at your one month check-up I’m sure it will more then make-up for the corn dog.

Here is a suggestion...instead of going to the state fair where every single terrible food you used to indulge in and likely will always still have an addiction or habit of wanting........ take up exercising, or go for a walk somewhere else. I don't know why you would want to put yourself through that less than 1 month after surgery? this is a life change and why choose sadness? Make better choices and take advantage of a new lifestyle by doing new things!

I’m only about 10 days out myself and dreaming of foods I can’t have. Some of them are things I rarely ate! As intense as these feelings are right now I’m assuming they will diminish some over time and be replaced by a feeling of accomplishment as we watch the scale go down and our health improves! My last Dr. visit before surgery there were some food magazines in the exam room, one featuring a beautiful dessert. When the Dr. came in I held up the mag, looked at him and said: Seriously???? He laughed and said “ Look. Your life is not over after surgery. You will be able to enjoy some of the things you Love now in moderation. “. We’re so new to this right now all we know is restriction. I’ve heard that your taste will sometimes change after surgery so once you try the foods you’re craving once again you might not even like them as much. For now focus on this wonderful opportunity we’ve been given and what we can do, not what we can’t have. I bet there’s some savory bites of a samosa in your future after which you will drink your Water and hit the treadmill !!!Hang in there!!! I know it will get easier!

I only need to do liquids day before surgery. I’m sure a week is going to to be very trying. Just know we are here to have your back if u need a pick me up👍🏼

That is awesome 👏🏼 I have been having a hard time. I feel like I’m starving and my head hurts I’m sure it’s the lack of sugar and caffeine. I just keep reminding myself that it’s going to be well worth it in the end! I also took “before” pictures, so I keep looking at those every time I need a boost their all the motivation I need. That was my slap in the face to finally really realize I’m doing the right thing.

So, on vacation with my family in Virginia. Not “ dieting” per se, but being careful and getting in at least 15,000 steps a day. I told myself I could have whatever I wanted, but oddly enough I don’t want much. No desire for ice cream or sweets even in an amazing chocolate shop. I’m anxious to get a jump start on the the whole wright loss process. Toying with the idea of going just with liquids the week before surgery(8-27). Have given up diet sodas and coffee. LOVE my Coke Zero so this has been super tough.

Hello all. Jumping into your August group with surgery scheduled 8-27. Very excited. I’m only on light diet Clear Liquids two days before but am starting with Protein Shakes etc. two weeks before to get a jump start. Not nervous, but very excited.
