2 more days! I cannot believe its almost here. People at work are noticing today the liquid diet thing. Because I supervise staff I had to put out an email of when ill be out and people are not afraid to ask why. I tell them medical and then they worry. I then tell them it's fine and then they are curious. I don't want to tell them..... Yet. I need to get through this first.

Hysteria- Good song by Def Lepard.

I am doing the same thing, Justine. No one has asked, though. Since I work for a local government, they know that they can't ask due to the privacy laws. No one has noticed the liquid diet as of yet. I'm day four.

Hang in there and stay tough.

i'd just tell them that i had a really bad stomach virus & the only things i could keep down are simple stuff with basic nutrients & that my doctor just wants me to stay hydrated..

if they kept pushing me for answers.. lol seems pretty thorough.

then when you go back & you don't eat much or are still on liquids or mushy food, you could just be like "yeah... still having a tough time keeping stuff down. it's crazy!" lol

alternately, you could just tell 'em you're doing a 'fast' and you're detoxing & needed time off to do it with proper medical supervision.. or whatever...

Yep- I work for local government as well- that doesn't stop them (employees). The bossss can't ask.

I'm hungry!!! I dont want to work these two days. My mind isn't in it. How's that for whining?

not whiney, just being honest. it's hard when you're going through all this stuff. liquid diet affects your mood & energy level + stress of having surgery & preparing for it + work + other stuff going on in your life.. lol it's stressful & at least you're not throwing in the towel, you're still hanging in there, even though you don't want to!

Thank you! Stressful day at work oddly enough too. I'm going to admit myself!
