First day back to work!



Recommended Posts

Well I messed up!! 11 hours on my first day back and I do nails for a living! I guess I forgot I sit forward all day! I came home and cried from being so sore and tired!! Much shorter day tomorrow, but another long one Thursday! I haven't felt good these 2 post op weeks! Can't get all my fluids and Protein in and when I try to eat anything soft or puréed I end up feeling sick after a bite or two! Someone remind me why I did this again?

Oh honey it gets better. I lost my job the day before surgery. It was a blessing because I couldn't get out of bed for 6-7 weeks. Take it easy and do the best you can. I never got everything in either.

I'm 3 months out and 65lbs down but I sure did regret it for a long time.

Me too. Today was my first day back and I'm two weeks out. I was so nauseated this morning and tired and in pain. I had to run a couple of errands after work and I overdid it. I had to take pain medicine. It was nice to see my friends at work again though. It will get better. I think I need to force myself to work though because I am feeling like I want life to be normal again. Work is the most normal. Can get right now aside frm eating with my friends. Hang in there... We Can Do This lol

I went back to work yesterday and both days I made the mistake of sitting and leaning forward for an hour or so while I talked with a patient, and I could barely stand up afterwards. My belly was so sore. So I can't imagine doing that for 11 hours!!

      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!
