I'm worried I'm going to eat emotionally i work part time at my job. I had surgery 5/27 and now I'm having surgery 10/18 to remove my gallbladder.

My job just told me they will not accommodate my request for 3 weeks leave for my surgery and my last day is 10/17.

I'm so upset I just want to eat everything

@@Dashofpixiedust8 Find other ways to deal with this - clean closets, paint a room, color, read a trashy romance novel, re-do your resume and job hunt, call a friend and chat, etc. I'm sorry about your job - but don't sabotage yourself!!!

I actually didn't even get a chance to even if I wanted to. I ended up in the ER with a 103.9 fever possible blood infection again from my picc line I'll be here at least a few days

@@Dashofpixiedust8 I am so sorry to hear about your gallbladder challenges and hospitalization. The same happened to me 6 months out, very painful and I hope they stabilize you and you feel better soon. It will get better!

I agree with @@KristenLe, the best strategy for me has been to have a list of things I can look to when cravings and triggers hit.

Focus on your healing now, you will have time to deal with work. Have you looked into short term disability?

Sending you lots of positive thoughts.

Thank you. I hope it gets better! I'm so tired of feeling sick! I haven't had much of a break since surgery in May!

I am going to try and focus on my health
