Returned to work and not getting all my water



Recommended Posts

I returned to work this week and I have found that it is difficult to get in all my Water.... I barely got in half and I could feel it at the end of the day.... I do have a desk but I am up all day going back and forth from patient visits to warehouse to desk.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to get in my fluids?

Can you carry Water in a bottle with you and fill it up each time you leave your desk?

Unfortunately I cannot take Water into patient visits or into our medical warehouse because it is considered a clean environment.....

I'm thinking maybe I will have to set s timer or get an app to remind me go back to my desk and drink!!

I can take Water with me on my way to my patient visits so I should be doing that so I can drink in the car

A timer or app may be very helpful. You may also need to aggressively set short term goals (I.e., 4 oz before I brush my teeth, 4 oz before I leave the house, 8 oz in the way to work, etc.). Set realistic milestones throughout the day and see if that helps.

I, too struggle with getting in all my fluids so I understand!

      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.

      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!
