Good luck with the job! Since it's your first, you'll always remember it!

We don't have that chain here in Houston, so I'm not sure what type of fast food they serve.. but, I recommed staying away from anything FRIED! It's not worth the extreme pain it's guaranteed to cause.

The only fast food I can eat these days is Taco Bell pintos and cheese, and a small nachos. But that will all change tomorrow, when I go in for my 5th fill.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Thursday :happybday: . Hope all goes well on your first day, and they don't make you clean restrooms! That would suck!

Congrats on the job Marissa. That is so exciting for you. My DD just got her first job last week and will get her first paycheck this Friday. It is terribly exciting to get that first paycheck and be able to have your own money.

Woo-hoo, congratulations on the job! As to the surgery, its up to you, Do You Want Everyone to Know? If so then cool, I told everyone I have seen that I am getting my surgey, today I get to tell them my date. But I work for my dad in his store and have for 8+ years, so everyone knows me.

I've had PBs on the job. I'm in a different setting though, to where it doesn't really matter if I'm away from my desk randomly for a while. Not sure how to best handle that one. Maybe explain the potential to your supervisor, and let them know that it may happen that you'll need to step away. If your PBs are anything like mine, toward the end you can't really work through them anyway... there comes a while when I'm doing good to be able to pace the bathroom. :rolleyes:

Congratulations on the job and happy birthday. Roy Rogers is basically ALL fried food so I would advise NOT eating it at all. Bring your own food and that should keep you and the band happy. Good luck on the job!

Congrats on the job! I agree with the others, bring your own food. They usually don't give you much time to eat anyway. Since you're sharing the diabetes info. w/the manager...he'll understand your "special" eating.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
