I work as a receptionist/ human resources clerk for a busy company and am in a fairly high traveled area if the business. I was wondering how sick anyone got after surgery and did it effect your job?

I'm pre-op and just concerned how I will handle this aspect of the surgery. Is there anything special I can do to prevent from having to run down the hallway to the bathrooms all the time?

If you follow protocol about portions, type of food, chewing, etc, and barring complications, you shouldn't get sick too often. Be sure to chew, chew, chew, and don't eat anything you shouldn't. Watch portions and stop way before you're "full". Stick to familiar, safe foods at work and don't go back too soon. Good luck...you got this!

This good advice. The two times I got sick at work were when I tried new foods. I always have 'safe' foods at work and only introduce new foods at home.

At 7 months post, I haven't been sick. Guess it isn't an issue for everyone (yay!). As mentioned above, I would use caution if adding new foods while at work, just to be safe!
