first day back to work

It's tough - that's why most of us don't go back to work for longer than you've been out.

What type of work do you do?

I had a month of and was a Nanny at the time. let's say after my first day back I was ready for another month off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I got sick off my left over pork chop and the kids were so excited to have me back, it was like the had pure sugar for breakfast, they were CRAZY....................LoL

it will take time to get a system down. one thing i do is drink a protein shake on my way to work and have lots of snakcs w/ me. u said you wokr at panera, well you can eat their chicken, which tastes really good. but definitely bring ur food w/ you and just be prepared. i always need a vacation LOL

i tried the black bean soup and put some chicken in it (and then pureed it) and it was pretty good...

will probably do the shake thing... do you make it at home or do you buy one of the pre-made shakes? ive done the powder in skim milk so far

i make my own. alot cheaper!!! that sounds good to me. i love soup. LOVE IT

Congrats on going back to work. LOL. I am sure you feel like most of us after being off for a while we feel as we really need a vacation after going back. Good luck on playing catch up.

Sorry you had to go back to work so soon.  I took 8 weeks of disability off and it was great because by the time I went back I was on solid foods again.  It was like a full time job during that time to get the fluids, protein, and vitamins all in.

It takes a while to get into the groove with your eating and drinking.  Just do it every time you think about it!  Hopefully it will work out for you.

I went back in a week and 4 days. I however have a desk job. However PLEASE DO remember you did have surgery and make sure to rest and sip still!! You will probably tire out very easy the next few weeks and make sure you rest enough to let your body recooperate some.
