Getting enough water

[Anyka Kindy 3]

I work as an orthopedic technician/surgical assistant. I am worried about going back to work and getting enough Water. On surgery days we go back and forth between two rooms. No breaks. I am taking 4 weeks off.ni plan on bringing Protein water with me on those days. Has anyone else had issues with this?

I supervise a day program for adults with disabilities. I also have limited Water breaks, as I am up and down from my desk all day and working program a lot. I asked my doctor to put that I need to sip water throughout the day on my return to work form so that it becomes a “reasonable accommodation” which you employer has to comply with by law. They said the reason was increased risk of dehydration. I have been back for a week and honestly it was one of my biggest worries, but it has been ok. You will be able to drink water faster than you think by then. I would save the Protein Shakes for when you can really sip them and try to get as much Protein as possible from your food (I am getting in 2/3 so far and I am two and a half weeks out). Hope it goes well! When do you go back? Have you had your surgery yet?
