Going back to work
I brought sugar free pops to keep in the work fridge/freezer (not sure if that's an option for you), but I loved having them to go! Bring your protein drinks, a big water bottle (I filled mine with Crystal Lite), if you have a desk job like me - get up and walk around every hour. Take it easy - best of luck!

Re-posting since mommyeliz asked: (sorry if you're sick of my story - LOL)
First let me say: I haven't met one other person this happened to - so it's extremely rare. I knew something wasn't right because I couldn't breathe when I woke from the VSG surgery. I could not inhale without pain. Turns out I had a kink in my sleeve - surgery report says "obstruction." I definitely did NOT want the RNY (both of my parents had it and I didn't like the side effects). Lucky for me, I don't have the side effects at all. I think because I've been so strict in not wanting to dump, therefore I haven't. I've never thrown up either. I'm doing the best with what I've got. The beginning was very hard for me, I was angry for not getting the surgery I had researched and wanted. I was in the hospital for 4 days, it took longer to heal...but now I look at the bright side - I got the benefit of the VSG surgery AND the RNY :)
