Going back to work tomorrow & NERVOUS!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow will be my first full day back to work. I am really nervous about what food to take and if I can last the whole day. Even though I know I am not doing great as far as eating goes (I havent been eating enough & am definitely not getting the Protein I need) while I am at home, at least I'm here. How did you all adjust to the work environment? I wish I didnt have to go back. :wink2:

Hi:

If it's on your doctor's list of recommended foods, take along some low fat, or no fat yogurt. Goes down pretty easy and doesn't get much more convenient.

Good luck. You may be tired for a few days, but it'll be good to return to your routine.

Tomorrow is my first day back as well. I keep thinking I need to go to Super Walmart and get some items for this week. I have some Protein Shakes left over from my initial full liquid diet and I plan to use those at work. I also found some small cans of chicken salad, tuna salad, salmon salad with crackers. I'm very excited to return to work only cause i miss my fat azz checks, lol. Good Luck tomorrow and the rest of this week cause we are going to need it.

I was banded on 09/08/10. Definitely at least drink Protein (I used a lot of Slim-Fast type drinks) and chicken/beef broth. You'll be fine. Just take it easy and don't do anything too strenuous. Oh and take Vitamins. I ate gummy vitamins at lunch time . Vitamins should help you also. Take care. Let me know how it goes.

Cottage cheese on the go by knudsen, tuna fish in pouch with Water, light string cheese, if you can have crackers, ritz reduced fat crackers are great with the tuna fish, yogurt, brothy Soups (premeausred and ready to go into the microwave), don't forget Protein supplements.< /p>

It will not be as bad as you fear.:wink2:

good luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
