It depends on what you do. I have a desk job. I brought my insulated lunch box with my shakes inside and my yogurt. I had plenty of access to water. I brought in packets of Crystal Light type stuff. I was back at work 6 days after surgery. One day I treated myself to egg drop soup - but the sodium content messed with me. Wasn't really an issue, but I don't know what you do.

I agree with Diana. I started back to work today and it was a breeze. But I work in a really relaxed office setting so I didn’t foresee any issues anyway. I feel like I definitely drink more water at work than at home.


It was hard for me at one of my jobs. I work prn and so I'm in different places. I really had to time things out, when to stop drinking so I could eat and when I could begin drinking again. Vitamins was also difficult at first at work. It's all worked out and it gets easier!

I also work a desk job. I had two weeks off, so it was a breeze once I had to return. I just planned ahead, and made sure that I had purees, protein shakes, etc. on hand at all times. This is something new, but you will get used to it in a hurry.
