How To Manage Work After Rny?



Recommended Posts

My Surgi-vacation is over after today!!! I'm little worried about how things are going to go in the working environment. There's a lot to keep up with at the beginning of my journey as far as the Vitamins Calcium, meds, meals, Protein and getting all your fluids. Does anyone ever get out of whack as far as getting all your nutritional needs, meds,fluids and protein down when you are at work? I've done great at home, but it seems like it's a full-time job just to keep up with everything. So I'm a little nervous about adding my real job into this mix. I am an MRI technologist, and we don't normally get scheduled breaks or even lunch for that matter. We normally try to just eat whenever we can if there's a small break.

It's been an adjustment for me going back to work. Remembering to eat enough and get in my fluids. I'm much better about it at home for sure, but after two Weeks, i'm doing pretty good. Packing small containers of high Protein things has been my focus and Protein Bars help when I can't get to a fridge or microwave. Luna bars even come in mini size, perfect pouch size. I also bring a Water bottle full of ice Water so I can measure my intake. Good luck on your return, you will do great.

I went back to work after 1 week. I made my lunch the night before with 1/4 cup meals of high Protein (or whatever you can have). I use tuna or chicken salad or Beans. cheese stiches are great and Greek yogurt.

I also fill a 32oz bottle half way up with Water then add unflavored Protein powder and a crystal lite packet. Then I put it on its side in the freezer over night. In the morning I fill it up the rest of the way with Water and add a little Mio. It will unthaw in a few hours. But I keep shaking it so it stays cold and slushy. It is 21 grams of Protein and 32 oz of fluid!

I do a Protein Shake for a quick Breakfast and made a bunch of frozen lunches in tiny containers like chilli, crab cakes, etc. go to theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and search bites. They are very easy to make ahead and freeze for grab and go! I keep a water bottle with me everywhere at work to sip sip sip all day. Its almost easier now that in working bc all the meals are premade and easy.

      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!
