Today one of the docs bought cupcakes for us...i had to decline...and now they're sending a tray of cookies down for nurses week. I wanna go home

I haven't gone back to work yet, but I dread that. I work in a surgeon's office and we have reps bringing lunch 1-2 times per week. By the time I go back I will be on soft foods, so I will have to make smart choices, but MAN my cubicle is right near the kitchen and I can smell EVERYTHING.

I'm the person who schedules the lunches so it's very tempting just to tell them they can't bring it.

I know and my coworkers are like u can have one

they just dont get it. ughhhh

I agree...its tough. Samantha we were sleeved about the same time right? I was the 12th. We had lunch brought in yesterday, it was chicke parm, salad and rolls. I took a piece of a piece of chicken and scraped off all the breading and cheese and ate the chicken. I figure, for the little bit I eat, I'm not sweating the few calories that may have seeped in form the italian goodness I needed to remove...lol. Chocolate dipped strawberries were a different story though...I wanted one. I took one! Yeah, I cut it in quaters and ate one quater...the other nurse ate the rest...lol. Is that really cheating? Maybe I should feel guilty, but I guess I don't really. I look at this as a way to live my life differently not deprived. Before I may have had 2 strawberries after chicken parm and rolls. Oh yeah, home made PB cookies too...I passed on those and I LOVE peanut butter! I can say I am having a horrible time being back to work. I get home and have NO ENERGY at all. I cannot even function. I literally say hi to my kids, and maybe see what they're all having for dinner when my fiance gets home...but then I hit bed. I don't always sleep...just lie there, but I am exhausted! I don't want to eat, drink, walk...talk...nothing. Should I be this tired still. Doc today said yes, but it will get better?? I'm not so convinced. AND...I'm still convinced he did a laproscopic labotomy on me at the same time...I am still a dunce! I remember half of NOTHING and lose my train of thought...get into the wrong screen on a chart...forget what/who I was doing or supposed to call, oh and why was I calling??? Will I ever feel like a competant nurse again!?? Geeze! Doc said that will get better to, its the stress of surgery...but I feel like its getting worse not better??? Has this happened to you guys too?

Sorry for asking on your post Samantha...lol...I guess I was venting cause I just got home. This is the first thing I do every day...pop on and see all my sleeve sisters and bros! Thanks guys!

hey Kids no problem!! That's what we're here for

i agree on the tiredness part....the ppl who dont know swear I am pregnant between that and not drinking....i am having a BLAST....it'll be hilarious when the figure it out.

LOL, I'm glad I was off the day that they had a huge lunch for us this Nurse's Week. The other day they came to each department with all the stuff to make ice cream sundaes! Glad I was too busy to get one!
