1 week post op back to work



Recommended Posts

1 week post op.. I went back to work today, I have a desk job in a dental office. Super busy after being off and getting caught up with insurance and referrals although I did great. I noticed it was hard for me to try to get in my Water being busing. My co workers kept asking me what I did last week on my week off. I just feel like I don't need to share right now or ever..

This is my personal business.

Thats your perogative. But remember one thing... if you keeo it a secret and it gets out then you look like a liar. oh well who cares what they think/./ we all know that your surgery was just a tool so you can fix yourself. You still have to do the work.. if you dont do the work then you can go back the other way.. This is a lifestayle change!! So who cares what others think.. I dont...

Great job going back after one week! (I'm at 8 weeks and dreading going back on Wednesday.)

Good for you! I went back after two weeks and it went very well... I am a para and have a pretty active job. I was tired after the first few days but did well other than that. I wasn't really planning on telling many people at work, but word got out pretty quickly- gossip spreads like wildfire at my job! It is completely up to you if you wanna tell or not, I totally get not wanting to.

Good for you! Keep it up. I've used a silly little timer to help me sip & sip again. And don't worry about your co-workers right now. Let them know when they ask that you've changed your diet and tell them what it is - and that's not a lie! But just remember, if you tell one person all the details then you should tell them all. Some will be supportive and others won't. Those who won't are the ones who have already been critical and we can let them bother us. Yet have supporters at work will help long-haul for accountability ans encouragement! Keep it up!

      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! 😞
