Hi all! I was sleeved on 7/12/16 and so far, things are going okay. My first post-op appt was Tuesday and I'm down 10lbs! Whoo!! I go back to work this Friday night, and I am anxious about having enough stuff with me. I'm a dispatcher, and once we're at the Comm room, we can't leave the premises, which can be a stinker. I'm on the all liquid diet at the moment, and am having a hard time getting all 64oz of fluids in. Does anyone else work the overnight shift, and how do you plan your meals?

I work the overnight shift and I try to get everything ready on my days off and then bring everything in a bag and stick it in the fridge here at work so I don't have to remember every day because I am bad at remembering stuff

Great question @@kbuck3779

This is a topic I've been wondering about as well.

Amazon sells a pretty neat lunch bag that you put in the freezer until you pack it in the morning. It has lots of good reviews on it. Supposed to keep your food cool for 8-10 hours. I put it on my wish list... ha!

PackIt Freezable Deluxe Large Lunch Bag with Shoulder Strap, Viva

Looks like an efficient way to keep your food chilled. That way it can be kept at your desk instead of in the company frig, which can be icky.

@@Unbridled - that looks swell!! As dumb as it seems, I'm anxious about going back to work and having my coworkers see me with all sorts of weird stuff in the fridge haha

I work overnights as well. I try to eat normally during the day...Breakfast when I get home which is usually a protien shake or yogurt. I then go to sleep by 8a till 1p. Have lunch. Go to the gym. Have my dinner around 6p. Go back to bed from 6p to 8p. Then head off to work. For the overnite shift I bring a youguart or protien bar to eat at 11p and a protien shake to drink at 330a. That's basically how I handle the overnite shift.

I keep mine in a bag and that helps a little bit

@@endlessquest that's not a bad idea. Unfortunately my shift is a 12hour 7p-7a shift and it's hard trying to figure out when to eat haha
