So, I had three glorious weeks off from my mobile/desk job. (I'm a crisis counselor and sometimes we make house calls, a lot of times it's taking phone calls.)

Today is my first day back. I'm getting ready for work now. I've got two lean shakes from GNC, a scrambled egg in a baby tupperware container, a sugar free Jello and 4 bottles of Water. I know I've over packed. But I'll just leave whatever I don't get through at work for the week and bring more Protein shakes as needed.

I didn't tell anyone I was having weight loss surgery--just a hernia repair and ulcer correction. I'm down about 20 pounds but I don't see it anywhere. If anyone notices I'm just gonna chalk it up to being on a liquid diet and not say much.

It's a 10 hour shift. (First of 5 for this stretch). I have been struggling with the afternoon sleepies, but I'm hopeful to get through it okay.

I hope no one is suicidal or homicidal and that it doesn't rain.

Wish me luck!

Good luck!! I have the GNC Lean shakes, too. What flavor is your favorite? The Mint chocolate was excellent.

Have a great day!!????

Seems like you and I had the same surgery????. I only took 2 weeks off and it's been hard!!! My job at times requires that we go out and eat with the team. So far since I have been back, I've been going to restaurants 4 times in 2 weeks. Unfortunately for me these lunches at mandatory. I am on my 4th week so I stick with soups and take the left overs home. I guess I could have been honest but I just could not deal with the judgements of people who don't know me. They have told me that they can notice my weight loss so I just say thank you, smile and keep working. Good luck!!

Good luck! Stay awake

Day one was okay! I was tired but I managed. Day two was today---I'm halfway snoring as a type this. Let's all just cross our fingers that third day is the charm!!

Ha! Yay for day 3!
