Having A Hard Time Getting Back Into Work Mode...anyone Else?



Recommended Posts

Last week was my first week back at work and I so don't want to work! I feel a little depressed. I'm definitly tired and don't have the energy level. I have the luxury of working from home but it is a very demanding job and I am out in the field most days....it's been a great job and I've been very successful at it....but I think I've lost the love of the job....it comes with a lot of headaches and stress (I run the OC division for this company) and I feel like I want to quit - but I know I can't. It's like once I had the time off (I haven't taken any real time off in 2 years) and real downtime, I can't seem to get my drive/desire back.....has anyone else experienced this?

I have not gone back to work yet, but I already know the same thing will be happening to me. I am actually nervous about being able to get all the Water and Protein in when I am running around the whole day and for the particular work I do I cannot always have a bottle with me.

Hope someone has some suggestions for us! =)

I am an august sleever also and use to live in the OC!

Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
